What is an ozeki connection

Every connection in Ozeki 10 is an interface to the outside world. At least two connections are needed. The first connection receives the message from the outside world, while the second connection forwards the message to a real world entity. Each connection has an inbox and outbox folder. When a new message arrives in the inbox, it is forwarded to another connection's outbox.

Connections are basicly gates to the world and the best thing is that you can share your connections with others by using Ozeki server and client softwares or applications to make messages easily transferable.

These are the 6 big connection groups:

1. SMS:
