Re: Text based smsc.

Uh, they just use plain text !! .
Here's a sample :
say Bind Service(to authenticate) :

BS0001CSEAiG0006cms978<NULL>

Here's their table format (left to right)  :

Field                          Size(b)       Type  
-----                          -------       ------
Message Type               2             ASCII-fix
Message Id                    4             ASCII-dec
Source Service Code     3              ASCII-fix
Dest Service Code         3              ASCII-fix
Msg Length                    4              ASCII-dex
Service Password           6             ASCII-fix

Basically the documents for this smsc is suggesting I just open client 
connection to their port and pump text in and await for
textual response. Have you encountered any smsc(s) like this ? 

ps. I'm forwarding this to the kannel devel list as well.
