This is a perl module extension. If you don't know what it means, please take the time to go to http://www.cpan.org/ or http://www.perl.org

,-------------------------.
| PRE-REQUISITES |
`-------------------------'

• a working perl installation (version 5.005+ recommended, although this module has been reported to work also for 5.004)
• Device::Modem perl extension (possibly version >= 1.24) Download this extension from [http://cpan.perl.org/modules/by-module/Device/]
• a GSM cellular phone or GSM modem. Various models have been reported to work. Some of these are:

        Nokia 6600           (19200)
        Nokia 6310           (19200)
        Nokia 3310           (19200)
        Siemens C45          (19200)
        Siemens S35          (19200)
        Nokia Communicator    (9600)
        Falcom A2/Swing       (9600)
        Digicom GSM modems    (9600)
        ...

If your GSM phone/modem is not reported in this little list, don't despair. Most probably it will work without problems.

PLEASE NOTE:
without a GSM phone/cellular connected to a serial port at your choice, you will not be able to use this module in ANY useful way.
