Good day, I am trying to configure a GSM modem (specifically a MultiModem GPRS model MTCBA-G-U-F4) to connect to the internet while the same modem is utilized by another program to facilitate SMS alerts. Whenever I attempt to connect to the modem I get a "Modem Busy or unavailable" error. After some testing I discovered it was the smsgws process blocking the modem. Is there anyway to connect to the internet using this gsm modem while maintaining the sms alert system? | |||

Hi, Sorry, but the answer is pretty short ... No. Even if it is being used for sending only, NowSMS always keeps a connection open to the modem. Some modems do expose multiple COM ports where one can be used for SMS and one for internet. But I have not seen that with any of the Multitech modem drivers. -- Des NowSMS Support |
