there is no such way to "extract" the SMPP specific optional parameters for the 
upside application layer. Kannel tries to capsulate as much abstraction to all 
supported SMSC protocols as possible. This is "known" and it's still a 
discussion thing about how we can get the maximum set of features supported for 
SMPP, even MO side.

Kannel does neither assemble MO concat messages. This hsa been a feature request 
some time ago, but none has offered a patch for this.

@developers:
If someone is interested in getting his/her (actually did we ever had a female 
sending patches? :/) I have a version fron Netikos (Kalle Marjola) that does MO 
concating. This could be used as scratch for getting it into CVS version. 
Obviously Kalles version is out of cvs sync.

Kannel does MT concat splitting. Obviously the point is that you need to get the 
MO concat transported to your application, right?

@others:
BTW, how are things with MOs if unicode is used? SMSCs obviously split then 160 
char messages to 2 concat MOs, right? So this means we "don't support" unicode 
MO messages, right?

(I cross-post this one, since it's a questionary for devel@ but may reside in 
users@ still).
