Dear Mike,
Thanks for this ... you are a star :-) I haven't arranged to get in installed yet (the tech team wouldn't be happy, something about heads down for today's upgrade), but reading between the lines you think a little "tweaking" will allow us to use this with the janet SMS system (which I assume isn't provided by csoft) - where we point to the janet sms provider? Can this be done through the building block interface or will I need to get someone to tweak the code?
Cheers
Andy

>> Hi All,

>> I would also be interested in hearing from anyone we has started to look at integrating the SMS service in to Blackboard. I can see a number of applications for this from a teaching and learning point of view as well as a corporate view.
