Ya, as virtual SMSC

Check gateway/doc/examples/modems.conf file for list of phone/modem which
works as virtual SMSC. I've tested Nokia 7110/6210 with Nokia DLR-3P cable
and Ericsson R320/T39 with Ericsson RS232 cable. There are many GSM modems
are available like Wavecom, Falcom etc. which rocks with kannel.

Check modems.conf & user guide.

If you can plug charging cord to phone when it is connected to PC, no need
to remove phone.
