That means that you requested the service on yout configuration file that says "u
asked nothing so i do nothing". you can define other services, such as a service that
fetches content over HTTP or executes something.

You don't. Kannel SMS gateway is used to route messages from a mobile handset (through
the SMSC) to an application and back. it is not used for routing between different
SMSCs. theoreticly you can create a loop-back application that does this sort of
routing.

Read the user guide and look for DLR or delivery reports. generally speaking, you set
the dlr_mask for the DLR types you wish to receive and the dlr_url for the URL that
you wont to be called back, on the send-sms HTTP query.

You don't - it's the SMSC job. when Kannel succesfuly receives an MO from the SMSC,
the SMSC then sends a "delivered" message to the originator.

Read the user guide - it's clearly explained there.

If there are such parameters, then we would be grateful if you can point to us what
functionality they provide which Kannel doesn't and we will gladly consider adding it
to the system (if it makes sense to do so, of course).

Read the user guide, and possibly also the architecture guide.
