Hi Paul: Thanks for this info. The mention of Kannel sent me to study some of its inner workings. Was a very educative experience, particularly the mention of the ingenious uses of the C preprocessor for the definition of some tables (the first time I stumble upon them in Mbuni drove me crazy trying to figure out what was that for :-). Are there any plans to integrate Mbuni functionality in Kannel? Seems logical to have a platform with integrated SMS, WAP and MMS gateway capabilities (hope I'm not bringing up a sensitive issue). From the Kannel perspective it would involve adding a third Box, the MMSbox, working in parallel to the already existing SMSbox and WAPbox.
