perhaps this is not strictly a kannel question...YET!! but this is a developers list, and other people writing C code on linux are here.
In case you haven't got it yet, the way kannel modems are currently configured, by the device name, ie /dev/ttyUSB00 for example.... now if you have many modems, and you happen to take one out, the usb devices re-enumerate themselves. so the modem now that you have may no longer be the GSM for vodafone, for example, but telstra.... kannel restarted and your screwed.......your now sending sms via telstra at double the cost!! this is NOT what you want, because... Eg .............. group = smsc smsc = at smsc-id = 001 ........... group = sendsms-user username = vodafone password = bar forced-smsc = 001 so when sending to the vodafone modem, we are forcing the routing to smsc-id = 001. this is perfectly acceptable with serial com ports and multi-com ports like stallion etc, because the com ports do not change...unless you physically swap cables. but with usb, this is no longer reliable. So I am attempting to come up with a solution where group = smsc smsc = at smsc-id = 001 modemserial = 10202020 ( or whatever...something that identifies the particular sim and/or modem) note this is a complete paradigm shift in how the modems are specficed to how kannel currently does it.. so mate is this still ":So this is not really kannel question:" ??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andreas Fink" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "fred" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "devel" <devel@kannel.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 6:53 PM Subject: Re: detecting modems on USB > > On 16.08.2006, at 10:53, fred wrote: > > > I've played with code that enumerate usb devices,etc..but haven't > > figured > > how to associate the usb device > > with a /dev/ttyUSBnn device properly/correctly or how? ...don't > > know enough > > yet > > eg modem on device > > ls /proc/bus/usb/002 > > 001 002 > > > > the falcom modem is the 002 device, > > > > yet the serial device is attached to /dev/ttyUSB0....... > > > > > This is done by the USB driver.
