Thanks for the info. Actually I haven't tried any version yet. I was |
29 |
just curious about finding some app that might receive text message |
30 |
sent from a cell phone. I.e. - instead of giving my cell phone number |
31 |
which I'd rather keep private I might give a Google-Talk phone number |
32 |
and receive the messages at my desk. I think this can be done with |
33 |
Skype but you have to buy a phone number from them. It seems to me |
34 |
that Google gives theirs out for free, at least right now. |

I believe you are correct about the ?? versions. They aren't in portage here. |

Thanks again, |
