+There is a Cron job to check the contents of the !OutBox & send pending messages. On Success it moves the message to the 'Sent' table:

 === SMS ===
+The SMS Daemon to handle Inbound messages is a separate Python script.
+
+It can distinguish between simple messages (added to the !InBox of the Messaging Module) & those which are encoded in Binary XML (the output of XForms from the J2ME client).
+
+Q: Do we use Cron to check !OutBox & signal the daemon to send Pending messages? (as for email)
+
+Toolkits we can base on:
  * RapidSMS (Python-based): http://rapidsms.org
+ * !PySerial: http://pyserial.wiki.sourceforge.net/pySerial
+ * Gammu: http://www.gammu.org (Python-gammu: http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gammu:Python-gammu)
