Yes, kannel can act as WAP Gateway between mobile & MMS server. MMSC implementation of kannel is not yet released, so you have to develop MMS server, which will receive MM message from mobile and send positive comfirmation to mobile. Once you receive MM message, it can be parsed to retrieve all attachments including the images. The MMS decoding part, which I'm not quit aware of, so some one in this might help you. Please go through WAP docs for MMS encapsulation. For sending, back another MM message, you need to send Notification (SMS) to mobile, which then in turn will retrieve from MMS server. > If not, do you know of a way by which we can go about our planned > implementation?

Or wait for some more time, read docs, then probably by that time, MMS code of kannel will be released. Hope this help you. Shridhar Raju
