What Rene's saying is that Kannel only acts as a CIMD/SMPP _client_, meaning that it can connect to a CIMD/SMPP _server_ and send/receive messages over those links.
What Kannel cannot do natively is to act as a CIMD/SMPP _server_, that's it: listening on an specific port awaiting for an external _client_ to connect and then send/receive messages over that link. If I'm not wrong, wapme has developed an "SMPPBox" capable of doing that, but it's not open source and I think you should contact them for more info.
