Send an sms, parse its parameters, create a document from a template and fax it away! Uses comtube.com

README

This small program was written for a friend who had to fax papers granting access to a factory's
territory to automobiles and persons mentioned in his SMS messages of a specific format.
Don't ask why :)

The format of SMS for a car:
@<COMTUBE_ACCOUNT> car DD.MM.YY, марка, номер [, driver name, arrival HH:MM, departure HH:MM]

The format of SMS for a group of people:
@<COMTUBE_ACCOUNT> fio DD.MM.YY, Name 1 [, Name 2 .. Name 8]

Replace @<COMTUBE_ACCOUNT> with your account name, e.g. @myacc. How to setup email notifications
is left as an excercise to the reader
