+The SMS Server Tools 3 is a SMS Gateway software which can send and
+receive short messages through GSM modems and mobile phones.
+
+You can send short messages by simply storing text files into a
+special spool directory. The program monitors this directory and
+sends new files automatically. It also stores received short messages
+into another directory as text files. Binary messages (including
+Unicode text) are also supported, for example ring tone messages.
+It's also possible to send a WAP Push message to the WAP / MMS
+capable mobile phone.
+
+The program can be run as a SMS daemon which can be started
+automatically when the operating system starts. High availability
+can be ensured by using multiple GSM devices (currently up to 64,
+but this limit is easily changeable).
+
+Note: users should be added to dialout group to send/receive messages.
