In other words, billing should be done by software component entities that are *not* part of Kannel. To make it short and simple. It's more or less a religious question if you incorporate billing facilities to Kannels functional scope. Most of us decided not to do this, because billing (in that SMS traffic sense) is not standardized in any way and hence we would implement properietary things, which open source developer don't like :) Stipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wapme Systems AG Vogelsanger Weg 80 40470 Düsseldorf Tel: +49-211-74845-0 Fax: +49-211-74845-299 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.wapme-systems.de ------------------------------------------------------------------- wapme.net - wherever you are
