I've gotten MultiTech (formerly Wavecom) USB GSM Modems Model MTCBA-G-U-F1 to work with Kannel under Linux kernel 2.6.12.2 and Debian. As near as I can tell these modems are the same guts as their serial versions but they added a USB-Serial device inside and they get their power from the USB bus (so if you use a hub it may need to be a powered hub). Seems like a sensible solution. You access them through /dev/ttyUSB# rather than /dev/ttyS#. I believe they cost in the area of 200-300 USD. http://www.multitech.com/PRODUCTS/Families/MultiModemGPRS/

We may get into touch with the manufacturer to promote the device if it works reliable and it's a price breaker ;) Stipe ------------------------------------------------------------------- Kölner Landstrasse 419 40589 Düsseldorf, NRW, Germany tolj.org system architecture Kannel Software Foundation (KSF) http://www.tolj.org/ http://www.kannel.org/ mailto:st_{at}_tolj.org mailto:stolj_{at}_kannel.org -------------------------------------------------------------------
