The above shows that Kannel tries to connect again.
Now in SMPP there is no mentioning of "old session" or "new session".  
when you create a TCP stream, you have a new session. The only error  
I can imagine is that you have set your own TCP port. If you do that,  
the connection always comes from the same TCP port while if you don't  
set it, your OS will allocate a new source port. The setting is only  
there to work around some very stupid firewalls admins who dont know  
what they are doing (I think we should put some notes in the doc  
about that).
