The problem is that those characters are not present in the standard 
GSM character set..
So Kannel has no way of mapping them. Unless someone shows us what a 
GSM phone supporting Greek is really sending, we can not figure out how 
to fix this. Its not documented in the GSM standards anywhere. Thats 
the real problem behind it.
