Makes more sense now - something like
1) Web/HTTP --- Kannel (formats request to SMPP) --- SMSC --- SMS End User
2) Web/HTTP Post ---- SMSC ---- SMS End User
Peter Beckman indicated that "I need an SMPP connection to a major aggregator" - this is when you would want to use Kannel - for higher traffic?
What are the benefits of using SMPP over HTTP Post, and when should we consider using an SMPP client, like Kannel?
