Re: That pesky @ sign

Hi

well the problem is that the default character set on the SMPP servers is 
not allways the GSM charset that Kannel uses. Some SMPP servers use ASCII 
others Roman 8 and others GSM.

We have a small patch that loads up a character mapping array (similar to 
the latin1 to gsm array in Kannel) to handle this.
