well- not exactly. I don't care how many times I read the flash memory,
as long as I write to it as few times as possible.

Only if it can't (or instructed not to) send them directly to a
connected terminal - a PC for example.

Actually, said kid (a very busy kid , I - for example - probably don't
receive 30 messages a week, counting SPAM ;-) will run through his SIM's
flash memory in as little as one or two years..

That's why the patch I submitted does not attempt to alter current
behavior - messages that will be forwarded directly to the terminal will
continue to do so. the patch will cause Kannel to only read messages
that for some reason or other were stored in memory. if you want the
behavior introduced by Matt's "AT3" patch, where every message is first
stored in memory and only later fetched by Kannel, simply use
modems.conf (thanks Bruno :-) to set the required CNMI mode.
