the USSD subystem as defined by GSM 03.90 spec is "beyond" the IP layer on which 
Kannel interacts with the SMSCs of a network. In fact USSD is more related to 
the MAP/TCAP signaling layer (ss7), then on the pure SMSC inter-connection.

Some protocols, i.e. SMPP v3.4 allow connecting to USSD gateways (or other 
network elements) that provide a SMPP interface to the USSD string exchange. But 
this depends on the capabilities of the SMPP server.

There is no standardized IP based protocol to use for USSD gateway connectivity. 
So most USSD gateway vendors use their own protocol, or try to use a well-known, 
like XML over HTTP (SOAP) or SMPP.
