Good to know. And the SMScs have no problem with it? I imagine they split it
themselves before delivery to mobile and they charge each part.

Subject: Re: Message length limit
Hi,
it should be possible in bearerbox and in smsbox but smsbox will need to be
modified.
In bearerbox you have to use max-sms-octets config variable to set maximum
length for SMSC module/connection.
Btw. SMPP allow message up to 64K using message_payload...
Thanks,
Alex

As I clearly stated, I'd like to *abuse* kannel. Obviously, these are
not SMS messages, since they do not adhere to the SMS specs, but they
share enough common traits with SMS messages that the only limitation I
see is the message length.
I know implementing my own protocol/driver will not allow me to route
such messages through standard SMSCs. I asked if the kannel internal
architecture allows larger messages larger to flow through kannel
(smsbox, bearerbox) and be delivered to a driver which talks
non-standard protocols to non-standard SMSCs.
If my understanding of how kannel works is correct, this is the flow of
a message submitted through sendsms and terminated via a driver to an
SMSc:
HTTP -> sendsms -> smsbox -> bearerbox -> smsc driver
Are there internal data formats or validity checks in place which
explicitly forbid this?
I realize I'm trying to bend kannel to my needs, I'd just like to know
if this is theoretically possible before considering the possibility of
implementing an smsc driver.
I'm currently looking at the code, but I thought this is a question
kannel developers may be able to quickly respond to.
thanks for your feedback
Luca
