Has anyone able to successfully create a COM connection between an instant messaging client, in this case I prefer AIM and CMUD/zMUD? I'm trying to get my in-mud communication routable to my IM client for sending to my phone as an sms, and likewise being able to reply. Anyone have some ideas or maybe some starters? I haven't been able to find COM objects with Zugg's old TIviewer (I think that is what it was called) on AIM. :/ Help would be much appreciated.

I haven't been able to yet, but then again, I don't script COM because I'm lost in it.

However, you CAN set it up to text it through email. Currently, for Aardwolf, I have all the notes emailed to me for a log. Most carriers have an email address for your number, something like:

12345678901@sms.carrier.com

You can look yours up easily.

Ah so you use it to connect to a mail client I take it? Hmm...sounds like a good solution for one-way communications, but in this case I'm hoping to achieve two-way communication. Well, I'm up for a challenge and I haven't meddled with COM too much so maybe it's time for me to challenge myself again. I'll do some heavy googling at get back to you on my progress. :)

Well, in that case, you could probably set up something where CMUD accesses emails, and if the subject begins with a certain trigger, then it executes what is in the email body.

Just food for thought. If you do manage to get it set up for IMs, definitely let me know. It'd be nice to have it done that way so I can mass IM people in my clan when there's a raid going on. :p
