Install instructions for SMS notifications

I am wanting to get the SMS (text messaging) appointment notifications working in my installation of OpenEMR.  We would like to use Clickatell.com as the provider and I see that there is supposedly built in support for this option.  My biggest question is which one of Clickatell’s API’s shoudl I use and what is the information that I need to put into the API field in OpenEMR (Admin->Globals->Notifcation).

Additionally, do I need to specfy anywhere that I am using Clickatell vs. one of the other supported options?

Once I get this all figured out I will create a post at the end of this thread that includes a step by step tutorial on how to get this set up and working.

Thanks in advance!
