Re: kannel sms-features: limited smsc links, aggregator use

Hi Kalle,

great to have you back here again :))

(BTW, I'm a bit quite the last weeks since I'm on vacation, so please 
don't thing I left things alone ;)

nop. There is no such thing already in use. BTW, I was thinking of 
what scenario you need this for. But I couldn't come up with an 
example. But I guess implementing this as a generic feature would be 
not that of a problem.

yep. This can be done is ome extend with the so called rerouting 
features, see CVS head user's guide and search for 'reroute'.

yep, that's how the rerouting works. You can define reroutes inside 
smsc groups that either route via receiver numbers or via whole 
smsc-id links to other links.

But this wouldn't imply the ability to provide external aggregator 
access for customers wanting to MT messages. This would be possible 
with the SMPP server part. Either our smppbox or a patched (SMPP 
server) version of smsc_smpp_server.c.

I'll definetly try to get smppbox free'd from Wapme cage for the sake 
of all Kannel users. Also in order to get more improvements into it, 
even while it works quite stable and reliable up to now.

(warm greetings from sunny croatian dalmatian coast ;)
