[Gllug] sms-to-email

There is another service from mtnsms.com, I have found a pl script that
should work and is based on the LWP pm.

I'll let you know of my success after the weekend. I have to use a proxy
here and it needs MS type authentication. I can't even use Netscape /
Mozilla or Opera to get a connection
