Hi,

I did something similar before. I needed something to program so I thought
of
an app that can send SMS. First I just programmed a frontend to a Perl
Script
somebody else wrote but then I started doing it myself. The KDE IO-Slaves
give you all you need for it. I found them a little hard to understand from
the documentation beeing new to them. I don't mean the easy stuff. Getting a
webpage are just a few lines of code but submitting the form data was a
little more difficult. You can get there, though.

Unix IS user friendly, it is just selective about who his friends are.
