RE: Patch, setting source_addr_ton when sending the messages

Hi!

I agree that your way is a better approach, but we needed something a bit
fast and I saw some other ppl before in need for something like this. I'll
see if I can do some work on what you are talking about, do you having
anything to provide or should I start from scratch? There is alot of other
things that this approach could be useful for aswell!

Reasons: smsbox should not encapsulate SMSC module specific information,
like in this case SMPP's TON and NPI values.

Solution: it should be applicable to have a "virtual smsc-id" that maps to
the "real smsc-id" connection and sets alternative values, ie.

  group = smsc
  smsc = smpp
  smsc-id = <real-id>
  host = ...
  smsc-username = ...
  source-addr-ton = 1
  ...

  group = smsc
  smsc = <real-id>
  smsc-id = <virt-id>
  source-addr-ton = 5
  ...

which means if you send via sendsms a request with CGI vars
..&smsc=<real-id> the source address TON would be forced to 1, if you send
...&smsc=<virt-id> then the <real-id> connection is used, but source
address TON would be 5.

In this sense you can abstract the dirfferences within smsc modules without
"overfreighting" smsbox's interface with specific CGI vars.

BTW, I tried to implement these kind of beasts. Unfortunatly it's not
trivial and yet not finished on my side. If anyone can/did work on this,
please provide patches, they are always welcome ;)
