RE: SMSC_SMTP ?

To answer both response at once (thanks), it's not for a carrier 
connection it's to provide an interface for the users to use, it may be 
handy to have available in Kannel for a one-stop-solution type point of 
view although I do understand that writing the module in C and reinventing 
what a lot of good programs are already doing well is a waste.

Why use lynx? Very simple way of calling the http interface in Kannel. I 
agree that every language around has a good socket library (I'm using Java 
servlets to automatically respond to inbound messages via http). The 
traffic levels are also very very low so the overheads won't really 
matter.

BTW any feedback on adding the ability to overrider the default source and 
destination ton(s) and npi(s) for smsc_smpp? I've just readded it to the 
CVS version I checked out and I'd like to have it added for the future.
