Sending SMS's from my desktop via USB/debug/whatever

[revaaron]

Since going to Android from winmo

I miss MyMobiler... extremely.
I miss Efficasoft Mobile Express... extremely.

I like tethering my phone and then sending sms's through my desktop. I've been "getting by" with gvoice, but since it doesn't give real date-stamps for SMS, it is almost useless to me. I've tried connecting a few of the different apps from droid explorer to whatever and none of them work even though I'm rooted.
The closest I have come is DesktopSMS in Droid explorer which can see my contacts, but nothing ever loads and my SMS's never get sent out or added to my SMS log in my phone.

Can anyone help here?
