asterisk users - Aug 2005 - help on receive text

Hi * users,

I am only seeing SendText in the available asterisk applications. But I have
not seen Receive Text application. I tried on asterisk-1.0.7 and 1.0.9. Can
anyone tell me how to use this receive text command.

I want to use receivetext command and get text information from an softphone
so that that can be routed to some other phone supporting text message. (my
soft phones are SIP/IAX based).

where I can get the receive text application for asterisk?
if avialable what should be the syntax

Kindly let me know how the configuaration should look like?

thanks,
Somesh

The only one that currently exists is the agi command RECEIVE TEXT.

You're going to have to write an AGI for it.

You'll find it in the latest CVS HEAD.  But it's agi, not an
application.

pabx*CLI> show agi receive text
Usage: RECEIVE TEXT <timeout>
Receives a string of text on a channel. Specify timeout to be the 
maximum time to wait for input in milliseconds, or 0 for infinite. Most 
channels do not support the reception of text. Returns -1 for failure or 
1 for success, and the string in parentheses.
