Re: Feature request/wish for Kannel

this is kinda dangerous as the at command and response are in a tight  
loop.
you could very easily screw up kannel.

For example you set echo off/on and kannel would get confused.
The problem you are seeing is usually not related to information the  
operator sends which get reflected into AT commands.

But I have seen similar issues where everything looks "fine" but SMS  
just dont hit the phone. After restarting kannel, the queued SMS come  
in in masses.

My approach to this problem would be to use the kannel keepalive  
mechanism not only to send a AT and wait for Ok but to go through the  
initialization sequence again.
