SMS messaging

[Anders Holm]

Hi Al.

Just a slight correction/clarification here, since this confused me a 
tad bit initially.

I work with supporting a SMS gateway software, so I come across a number 
of protocols used for SMS. What confused me was what I thought initially 
to be a typo, but alas no it wasn't. OTOH, SNPP is a protocol for 
pagers, and not for SMS. The most common protocol I see for SMS is a 
protocol named SMPP.

Just so people are aware of what they'll be getting, I mean... ;)
