Read SMS Messages on a bigpond 4G 760s

Login to the Aircard using Putty on the Aircard's COM port
(from a whirlpool post)

If you don't mind the inconvenience of AT commands, put the 760S into text-mode:

AT+CMGF=1
(this needs doing every time the modem has been reset, eg. by power cycling). The default is PDU-mode (as received, encoded in hex).

Then read all messages:
AT+CMGL="ALL"

Finally, you'll need to eventually clean them up (individually) to make room for more – eg:
AT+CMGD=2
where the 2 is the number of the message you want to delete – you'll see those numbers in the read command.

The easiest way to clean out all messages is one command with flags. E.g:
AT+CMGD=0,4
In this case flag 4 ignores all indexes and deletes everything in all stores including both recieve & sent. Flags 0 to 3 are more selective.

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
