- -----+ 09-12-1997 +---------------------------
- Added some features from YoUr wish-list.
- + Option to choose your own serial-device and device number
- + Terminal can now be choosen to run as Backdrop or a new Window.
- + Terminal can now dial both 8N1 and 7E1 serial modes
- + added some extra GSM providers Phonenumber to use with the Terminal option
-
- Terminal has changed a little..
- Running terminal you are immediately asked to provide a GSM providers
- phonenumber (or choose one from the list).
- To be honest.. the whole Terminal will be "re-done" for I'm not completely
- happy with it.. but it works!
- -----+ 02-12-1997 +---------------------------
- Added a very important and easy feature.. a Terminal.
- After choosing your destination you then have a new menu option "Terminal".
- Choosing this you will get the "Checkdetails" message again. If all details
- are correct you click on "OK". At that point your Workbench screen turns
- into a simple terminal screen with menu options.
- [Amiga]D = Dial provider
- [Amiga]N = Insert GSM destination number
- [Amiga]M = Insert created SMS text.
- [Amiga]Q = Leave Terminal.
-
- By using this terminal you can dial your GSM provider, if the "normal" way of
- AsmsC is not supported (in other words.. if your provider does not support
- the EMI protocol.) By choosing the menu option "Dial provider" you already
- get some pre-defined provider-numbers, if yours is not one of them, please
- contact your provider and ask for the Phonenumber to send SMS messages to,
- using Text.
- Normally you would send SMS messages this way, using Term, Ncomm or simular
- programs.
- If things are not clear, or you have problems.. please let me know.
- Also.. if you want to have an extra phonenumber added as default in the
- "Terminal dial" option, please let me know.
- -----+ 20-11-1997 +---------------------------
- *AsmsC now supports:All Providers that use EMI protocols
- (like PTT Telecom; D2; Natel D)
- *Better dialing procedure (with timeout)
- *Providers Telephonenumber in International format for use anywhere in Europe.
- *Speech implementation
- -----+ 16-11-1996 +---------------------------
- Just a small bug-fix..
- After sending the SMS message the window closed immediately, without giving you
- the opportunity to view if the SMS-send was succesfull.
-
- Fixed!
- -----+ 15-11-1997 +---------------------------
- New features..
-
- - Easy and flexible Phonebook
- allowing to store Phonenumber with names and comments
- - [registred]Users can now send pre-defined messages.
- - Can use International acces-codes
- - Save customized settings [registred users only]
- - Easy Pop-up window to choose destination
-
-
- Bug fixes..
-
- - On some Amiga's the sending of the SMS message didn't proceed correctly.
- This was due to the fact that the message was send to fast for the GSM provider
- to translate and data wend missing.
-
-
- - Limitations..
- Yep, even I had to create a Shareware version of AsmsC, considering the costs for testing
- sms messages etc and the work done on it, I thought it would be fare to ask for a small
- amount of money, thus ensuring the users to get updates frequently and expand the program
- to have more options and perhaps let you send SMS messages through e.g. Internet or
- be able to send SMS messages to Text - buzzers as well.
- Current limitations:
- - The Phonebook can only hold 5 records
- - Printing the Phonebook has been disabled
- - Saving Customized setting has been disabled
- - Pre-defined message texts has been disabled
-
- All other function work a 100%..
-
- - Shareware contribution
-
- Simply send all your details to the address at the end of this file.
- Together with a Euro-cheque equilevant to around Fl 20,= (e.g. DM20 or
- 7 Pounds or about US$10). Or you can deposite the money on my bank-account,
- together with your email address. I will then contact you.
- This will ensure you of all the features mentioned above send to your home
- address (or via Email if you like) + automatic updates via Email.
-
- If you have any questions, please write or email me

- of the (Mobile) person you want to send the message to.
- You can either type in a number or use the arrow down button to choose from a
- Phonebook entry.
-
- Then you can (if you wish) insert a recepients number. The person receiving
- the message will know who send it..
-
- The Pull down menus allow you to change various setting. They all come with
- Help buttons, so I won't go into them here. Please note that you have to
- change the phonenumber for your GSM provider in the pull-down menus and set
- them to your providers number. The one at default is for use ONLY in
- The Netherlands. (ask your GSM provider for the number you should use)
-
- Off course do not forget to change the message text. Remember only
- 160 characters possible with SMS, you will be notified if you exceed
- the 160 characters. (Future version might allow you to go to >500 characters,
- depending on your provider)
