I was wondering how to send a message from a pocket computer to a normal computer to a third computer and so on until it reaches its destination. Also I want to it to send the message from computer to computer automatically. Then I want it to activate a redstone signal automatically as well. Please help me.

If you're using CC 1.6 or newer, you can use the built-in repeat script in order to pass your messages from computer to computer. As for activating a redstone signal, you would use the redstone api. In order to facilitate wireless communications you could use the rednet api or the modem api (although if you're new to CC, you'll find the rednet API much easier to learn for your first project).

Post the code you have so far and we'll be happy to help you get it up to snuff.

One computer running the repeat script with an Ender Modem attached will pretty much cover the server.
