[FYI] behaviour change on number prefixing to smsbox

Hi list,

I just commited this:

2003-09-05  Stipe Tolj  <[email protected]>
    * gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c: changed pdu_to_msg() to recode source_addr
and
      destination_addr on the MO side. We will pass an prefixed '+' to
the
      smsbox side. Otherwise there is no chance for backend
applicatins, like
      smsbox to descide what type of number it is.
      BEWARE: this may be an behaviour change for your individual
setup, if
      you relly that the number is transmitted in pure TON=1 notation
to the
      smsbox. In this case please use unified-prefix on the smsc group
level
      to get rid of the prefixed '+'.
      Thanks to Alex for providing the patch.

which means SMPP based links will now pass international source and
destination numbers with a prefixed '+' to smsbox connections.

This is required to distinguish what kind of type of number we pass to
the smsbox. If you need to have the number without leading prefix,
then please use unified-prefix to recreate it. 

This works at least for source addr on the MO side. Destination addr
is *not* unified in any case, so the behaviour change is still there.

Alex and I have been thinking of how the unified-prefix can cover
both, source and destination number for both MO and MT directions.

Any comments and/or suggestions on this please?!

Stipe
