Hi,

just started playing with Kannel - the main installation is on a machine I 
don't have access to and I've a couple of questions. I'll be setting up my 
own test intall under Cygwin but it seems to need a crypto library which I 
don't have. Anybody know which package I need to install to use it?

I've downloaded and installed all the stuff, there seems to be something 
missing. From the documentation I assumed Kannel came with a bunch of 
cgi-scripts but this is evidently not the case. Are they available as an 
external resource? ie, the much-read "sendsms" or "dlr.php" My main 
interest is in status report and, having quickly browsed the mailing list 
archive, I see I'm not the only one struggling.

Calling the SMS url and setting parameters works but not quite as I 
expected. It seems dlrurl will only ever return one parameter. How does the 
receiving service know which the status for which message and for which 
number? Is dlrurl only supposed to be used in special circumstances? Is it 
normal to work with external storage (ie. MySQL) when tracking status?

Grateful for any pointers or URLs in the right direction and I suggest this 
gets taken up in the FAQs.

Charlie
