Hello, I just found NowSMS and it looks very promising for me. I managed to get SMS retrieval working with it, however I think I got some configuration options wrong for MMS. I have a Fargo Maestro 100 Lite modem. I installed the Windows default 33.6k modem driver for it. In NowSMS, I first tried setting up the SMSC using the modem driver as connection, but it failed the test that way (the error message was access denied or something similar). After that, I made it connect the modem directly through COM1 port and it worked. Then I went into properties, ticked option to receive MMS messages, and went into settings. I got the warning about using a windows modem driver, but as that didn't work, I went on to setting up through COM port. I set up the fields with my provider's info (T-Mobile Hungary), set the windows modem driver as network connection and set the modem used to COM1. The result of the test was "Warning: modem is not responding to GPRS commands" and then "RAS Error 692. There was a hardware failure in the modem." Do you have any idea where I went wrong? Thank you for your help in advance. | |||

Enable the MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG and post the content of that file. That will give us a better idea of what is happening. Basically, it sounds like the modem is not allowing the GPRS APN to be saved. I would be curious if you could go into HyperTerminal and try the following: Issue the following command: AT+CGDCONT? You should see a response something like this: +CGDCONT: 1,"IP","mms-westel" If you don't see this response, try the following commands: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","mms.qtel" You should get back an OK. ATD*99***1# This command tries to initiate a GPRS connection. You should see "CONNECT" followed by some garbage if the connection is ok ... or "NO CARRIER" if the connection fails. If you get "NO CARRIER" then for some reason the modem is not making the connection (maybe it's a signal strength issue?) While we're talking about AT commands, some times if you have been trying a modem with different carriers, some modems can get confused if there are too many access points configured in the modem. When you issue the command: AT+CGDCONT? And you get a response like this: +CGDCONT: 1,"IP","mms-westel" There might be more than one APN defined ... with the "1" being a different numeric value in each entry returned. To clear the definitions, enter the following: AT+CGDCONT=1 AT+CGDCONT=2 ...etc... Clearing those definitions might make a difference (the next time you connect with NowSMS it will add the entry that you need). | |||
