## Overview

The RockBLOCK is an AT modem and previously we used a terminal session to send

AT commands directly, which is not a great user experience.

We want to develop a simple UI that talks to the modem and continually checks

for incoming messages, then triggers message reception, reads them from the

RockBLOCK, logs them to file and displays them on the screen. It should also

allow for composing an outgoing message, logging it to a file and writing it to

the RockBLOCK, then initiating transmission, monitoring transmission status,

retrying if required, and ultimately recording successful transmission.

My vague recollection is we used AT+SBDI to initiate message exchange, SBDWT to

write text messages, SBDRT to read a text message. SBDD to clear buffers, SBDS

to check status.
