I would strongly recommend we do that. I've seen errors in my logs 
where it was saying 100 times "retransmitting because no ack was seen 
during 60 seconds". Meanign I was submitting thousands of messages 
and they queued up and because that connection was only supporting 2 
messages a second (but having multiple links like that) I had 100 
messages in the queue which didnt get an ACK fast enough. I presume 
they where retransmitted several times and the receiver was receiving 
it multiple times.

Maybe it would be enough if kannel slows down if the ACK's come in 
slower so we never run into the timeout.
