Re: Character set

Hi there.

I got this working, with help from Ronan Derby.

There's code in smsc_oisd.c for unpacking 7-bit packed GSM which almost
worked when integrated into smsc_smpp.c - though it truncates the message
because it assumes that the expanded message will be the same size as the
original one..

Regards,

David.

Gosh, of course! I guess all the SMSCs I've used must have implemented the
