Redhat 9 - kannel - sms

[Jarl Cornell]

Hello, my name is Jarl   Sorry to bother if these are stupid questions, however I've really looked around and read all manuals etc...   1. Is it possible to install Kannel on Redhat 9? I've tried desperatly... (have Redhat 9 i386 with all possible installed thigns from the cd + all latest updates etc...) If so is there anything special I have to do to make it work? (Have tried a lot) If not, what's the best version of linux to be running kannel in?   2. Say I get it properly installed, I've read about the sms section (which I'm most interested in), how would I go about sending sms without buying a gsm modem or using a phone? (I've read it would be possible to use 'someone elses' (a company or so..) with some kind of adress or whatever so I can still send free sms... is it true..? Where would I have to look for this...? (said in the manual that it would be in there but I couldn't see anything like it...   3. If anyone want to give me some useful tips I might need (or things you can tell I really haven't understood) I'd be very grateful. I really want to learn how to use kannel properly and I'm not about to give up, as this would be very useful to my 3rd year project.   Thank you, Jarl
