Thanks for your help

I tried the clean .emacs earlier with no luck, but I'm starting over

current .emacs file

Code:

(menu-bar-mode 0)
(tool-bar-mode -1)

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/MyDocs/elisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/MyDocs/bbdb-2.35/lisp")

(require 'maxframe)
(add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'maximize-frame t)
(maximize-frame)
(setq dired-use-ls-dired nil)
(setq list-directory-brief-switches "-C")

(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize)
(setq bbdb-file "~/MyDocs/.bbdb")

(require 'bbdb-nokia-n900)

(custom-set-variables
 '(bbdb-north-american-phone-numbers-p nil))

The north american variable was actually a typo before, it was correct (but posted incorrectly). The N American variable here was set through the customize-group dialog.

With the above, no luck.

An attempt to SMS to the number +1704-254-1111

sends same error to a new buffer

Code:

Pipe endpoint allocation: Operation not permitted
Process n900-sms-dispatch exited abnormally with code 1

now also sends this message to the minibuffer

Code:

Sending SMS to: +1704-254-1111 (Mobile)
while: Process n900-sms-dispatch does not exist

calls to this number via bbdb-nokia-n900.el work perfectly, including timestamps

How did you setup your bbdb? In an attempt to keep things light on the handheld, I simply copied the bbdb-2.35 directory to ~/MyDocs/ I deleted everything but the lisp directory. Could my problem be related to this?

fwiw i still cannot edit an existing from number from (xxx) xxx-xxxx to +1xxx-xxx-xxxx

Throw this out, just realized I put it together so that it'll dial even american style numbers. So you can dial even the americanized numbers - try that. You're just not gonna be able to call from abroad, since they're not in an international format, but since you've got them in your phonebook that way, it prob'ly doesn't matter to you.

Code:

Sending SMS to: +1704-254-1111 (Mobile)
while: Process n900-sms-dispatch does not exist

OK, it doesn't create the process, something wrong with pnatd on your side or communication from Emacs with it.

Which Emacs version, and from where, are you using?

Then, with the following code:

Code:

(start-process "n900-sms-dispatch" "*n900-sms-dispatch*" "pnatd")
(display-buffer "*n900-sms-dispatch*")
(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "at\r")
(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "AT+CSCS=\"HEX\"\r")
(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "AT+CSMP=17,167,0,8\r")
(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "at+cmgf=1\r")
(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" (concat "at+cmgs=\"" "7042541111" "\"\r"))
(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" (concat "This is a sample SMS message." "\C-z"))

Copy it to your *scratch* buffer, and eval line by line - if you're not familiar with Emacs, move to the end of each line: C-e and eval the line: C-x C-e

This should send the sample SMS. Report what you see here and we can get it fixed.

trying (704) 254-1111

the remaining evals continue to throw errors to the backtrace buffer, which I can't paste into these text boxes.

Hi KiberGus

"Hi. I'm currently working on SMS listener in ussd-widget. And I need to decode PDU.........."

I read your post about having already solved this, but I thought you might be interested in seeing Kannel, as it contains PDU encoders and decoders: http://www.kannel.org/

Code:
replace-regexp-in-string: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 704
+1704-254-1111 continues to work perfectly

This is very strange. What do you get when evaluating:

Code:

(replace-regexp-in-string "-" "" (replace-regexp-in-string " " "" (replace-regexp-in-string "(" "" (replace-regexp-in-string ")" "" "(704) 254-1111"))))

http://sumoudou.org/%E7%9B%B8%E6%92%...ia%20N900.html - followed your basic instructions

OK, I tested with this version, it works, so it's not Emacs' fault.

(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "at\r")

nil

(process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "AT+CSCS=\"HEX\"\r")

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Process n900-sms-dispatch does not exist")

OK, something is killing the pnatd process between the first and second send. "AT" gets sent, then the process is killed.

Post the contents of *Messages* buffer, maybe it gives some clues as to what is happening.

Also, can you start pnatd from the terminal and enter this sequence of commands, or does it also die?:

Code:

at
AT+CSCS="HEX"
AT+CSMP=17,167,0,8
at+cmgf=1
at+cmgs="7042541111"
This is a sample SMS message.
C-z

I collected all the messages I could find

As user it throws the pipe error - could that be part of it?

As root:
at
OK
AT+CSCS="HEX"
OK
AT+CSMP=17,167,0,8
OK
at+cmgf=1
OK
at+cmgs="7042541111"
>T
ERROR

704 254 1111 is not a real number if that helps, but it doesn't look like it get that far

OK, evaluates fine, so should send fine. So maybe it's connected with the following.

Yeah, that's the reason, pnatd must be run as user.

Code:

which pnatd

should give you

Code:

/usr/bin/pnatd

Code:

ls -l /usr/bin/pnatd

should start with

Code:

-rwsr-sr-x

What do you get for

Code:

ls -l /usr/bin/pnatd

.
Try purging pnatd and reinstalling clean.

You must be able to start it as user and then send one or two commands without crash.

The problem lay with pnatd on your system, not the Emacs coding...

yes

Code:
ls -l /usr/bin/pnatd

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root   root   12676 Aug 27   2009 /usr/bin/pnatd

Try purging pnatd and reinstalling clean.

can you point me to some instructions on that?
I thought it should be

Code:

apt-get remove --purge pnatd

but I get a "couldn't find package pnatd"

You must be able to start it as user and then send one or two commands without crash.

thanks again, I appreciate your help - this will be great once these issues are corrected

man, I'm feeling like a big lump of fail

Code:

# apt-get purge pnatd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package pnatd

# which pnatd
/usr/bin/pnatd
