SMS notification with gammu - Solved

[Simon Welch]

The problem was due to the /dev/ttyACM0 device that was created when the
mobile was connected via USB not having rw access for other user.  Is there
a way to make these permissions persistent on a reboot or disconnection of a
hot plug device?

Many thanks

Simon
