Hi, I have a setup at a client where we are using Kannel as a "transport" layer for an application that handles split/concatenation of SMS messages itself (and uses other transports apart from Kannel). In order to do this I wrote a short patch for Kannel that allows sending of messages directly in the GSM 03.38 7bit / UCS-2BE character set, and disables recoding of messages to latin1 in the SMSC modules.
I would like to integrate this functionality into the upstream version of Kannel. At present the use of charset_gsm_to_latin1 () and charset_latin1_to_gsm () is hardcoded in the SMSCs -- would it make sense to remove these conversions and convert the message only when it is processed by smsbox, based on the setting of an option in the configuration file? Is anyone else working on this/interested in such functionality? Regarding the production status of the current CVS, are there any major issues if I were to upgrade a setup using 1.3.1 to CVS? (Aside from those already documented, modules getting renamed and so on?). I have several SMSC connections, using both UCP and SMPP. -mato
