hello all im having a huge trouble dealing with my PCMCIA Card

hello all, this is my first query here, im trying to use a GPRS PCMCIA card to send and recieve sms msgs, im trying to do it with .net C# 2005, first i want the program to idle until sms is recieved (have it like a system tray program) i have no idea how to do this. then, i want the program to read the msg and save it in a string (will be easy if i could fetch the msg from the GPRS card) then send it to another computer depending on some calculation that i have in mind. i know guys there is more than one question, but please help me im really in need. thanks alot

What makes you think this is possible using C# ?
Do you have some interface that will allow you to talk directly to this to this PCMCIA GPRS card ?

well i have tried the heyas commands, and i have found a library called system.io.ports but i dont know how to use it. C# is a hi and low level lanaguage i think its possible to do it with c#.
You are not going to be able to do this in C#.
I don't think System.IO.Ports addresses PCMCIA devices.

You may be able to address the device using calls to Native win32 dlls called from within your C#, but without a proper driver or API for the card how will you know how to address it ?
well if you take a look at windows hyper terminal you can address the pcimcia card with commands like at++ and so on. but these arent standard. well the hyper terminal doesnt tell you when a new sms msg arrives. do you have any ideas ?
