Hello Rudy, The file based interface is only one way, so for incoming SMS-es the defined SMS service just reads the contents of a defined file and sents it back as a reply. What you could do is use the exec for writing the incoming SMS (MO) to a file in a specific directory with a specific name and for outgoing SMS-es (MT) you could wrap the HTTP sendsms url with a program/script that accepts files and sents it out to that url. This is nog very difficult as it is just normal webprogramming.
Hope this helps... Kind regards, Edwin Poot -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rudy T.

Poot, Thanks for the reply, I have same further question as Steele Stuart. I think I've read the docs (Kannel user guide) thoroughly enough and I'm pretty sure the file-based interface method isnot in the documentation. Can you help elaborate further. Is it like putting the variables (sender, message, etc.) in a file and the configuration will make Kannel to read it ? With my limited ability to write a program, a file based approach seems to be more flexible (i.e. easier) for me to build the front-end interface for sending sms (that is, other than web html front-end which is natural for http/cgi-bin approach).
