RE: support for Greek characters

i am running 1.2.1 as i need the most stable release for a production environment.

here is what i have done.

in charset.c i filled in some places in gsm_to_latin1 where it was ignoring greek.  the same too in the reverse function.

because i want to use Kannel as part of a wider application i have simulated its involvement by having the sms sevice hit the sendsms ..so its liek an echo.. you get pushed back what you send. (In my final app i will do some things in the middle)

It would seem that i now have greek support.  Do you think this is ok?  I am still clueless on how the alt_charset thing is supposed to work... :(

thanks for all the help

mike

here is the corresponding snip from the user's guide

[...]

alt-charset string 

Defines which character encoding is used for this specific smsc link.
Uses iconv() routines to convert from and to that specific character
set encoding. See your local iconv_open(3) manual page for the
supported character encodings and the type strings that should be
presented for this directive.  

[...]

AFAIR Kannel will transcode to GSM 03.38 alphabet if *no* other
alt-charset is defined in the configuration. Hmmm...
