For example, I wanted my CoCo to be able to tell my PC to do things. I came 
up with this Rube-Goldberg style method of having the CoCo send a txt file 
to /p and then I used a cron utility on my PC to check the printer directory 
every minute and convert the text file to a .BAT file and run it. It was 
clumsy and inconvenient but it worked.

So what I am saying it the CoCo only has to treat the text message it wants 
to send as any other string of characters. The CoCo never needs to know 
anything about SMS. All that can be handled on the PC with pre-existing open 
source software, with all that is needed to be added is a software interface 
to pick up that simple string of characters from the CoCo and pass it along 
to the SMS software.
