I don't know much about most SMSC drivers, but AT* converts to GSM 03.38 (through iso-8869-1 . this can easily be fixed). I did notice that the way recoding is handled in Kannel (all of it - including modules) is very confused and messy. we need to come up with a clear design for that - answering these questions : 1. Using what character set do messages arive to smsbox/wapbox/mmsbox ? 2. Do the boxes do recoding ? 3. Using which character set do messages get sent to the bearerbox ? 4. Does the bearebox do recoding ? 5. Using which character set do messages arrive in the modules ? 6. Should the modules do recoding (except for driver-specific issues) ? 7. How does the coding member of the Msg* structure relate to the character set of the message ? 8. All the above questions for the MO path. 9. Which encodings do Kannel need to support internally ? 10. Using which encoding should keyword matching be done ? I would really like to see a clear design work on that. -- Oded Arbel m-Wise Inc.
