Thanks Bozo.

I had actually tried playing with the DTR RTS stuff (particularly
leaving them on to power the interface constantly), but also ran the
interface off it's own dedicated power supply (rather than sucking power
out of DTR/RTS) to be sure that wasn't the problem.

Anyway it seems once I put the phone on the charger it has begun to
work. No idea why but it works and I'm happily sending and receiving
SMSes via my perl script. Perhaps the phone is a little dodgy - it is my
old phone but has a busted LCD making it useless as a phone but fine for
a SMS gateway.

Thanks
