Hi All,

I need to receive and send small text messages to a Linux server from applications running on different machines. Essentially it is a star configuration with lots of machines talking to a central server.

The machines are connected via the internet, all communications must be secure, are time critical and must be 100% automatic.

The product must be cross platform and preferably an open source program.

Does anybody know of a suitable product and where I can find it?

Many thanks,
Paul
