Update #2: SMS with a Huawei E8372

This is the next edition of the series of posts about interfacing with the Huawei E8372 Cellular Dongle, sometimes called the Wingle for WiFi-Dongle. This device is really a cool little device that can both provide internet access through USB and also through the WiFi network it can host.

I am using this device to supply internet to a remote island in Canada by pairing it with a directional antenna mounted on an antenna tower. I started out interfacing with this device very simply. (See the two previous posts on this subject) This dongle has the ability to send and receive SMS messages over the cell network, so I decided that I needed to be able to access those capabilities. Very quickly it became clear that using the scripts I was developing would not work so I started searching for a library or other software that could help me.
