Hi,

the error of smsbox is unrelated to the fact that you use 'instances = 
x' in the corresponding 'group = smsc'.

In fact it even doesn't have any configuration relation, since smsbox 
daemon never looks into the config of 'group = smsc' values, these are 
only relevant for bearerbox.

At the time you are trying to start smsbox, bearerbox's smsbox-port is 
not available, and this is why smsbox PANICs.
