That depends on the arrangement with the telco. Most of the time, and every connection I've seen, you'll just need to connect to an SMSC over the Internet. I've heard of some shops getting a dedicated leased line to the telco for seriously high volume applications (which would require probably require a specialized router but is conceptually the same as connecting to the SMSC over the Internet), and the Kannel manual mentions some communication over X.25 through a specialized modem for some SMSC's, which I am sure nobody in the Philippines uses. It's pretty much safe to assume that all you need is an Internet connection. -- dido Sans les mathematiques on ne penetre point au fond de la philosophie.
