> 4): The system must have an API

Depends on what you mean by an API, there are defined interfaces to
get
messages into and out of Kannel (http, http headers, SOAP), there
isn't
a specifical library interface that you can link to.

So if Kannel is running on the localhost i could use java servlets
running on tomcat (again on the localhost) to talk to Kannel via http
and send and receive messages ?

Kannel will decode the message and do something with it (generally
pass
it to an application via http), what the application does with it is
up
to it.

Yup. The basic AT driver will drive phones, there's a patch that
improves handling of incoming messages (which hasn't [yet] been
incorporated into the main Kannel source).

Yup.
