You will still be able to compile and run Kannel on your machine, using Cygwin.
I think Cygwin is able to access serial ports, so this is feasible.
Take a look at how to obtain & install Cygwin at http://www.cygwin.com/
Then download Kannel source, compile, configure and run (this is not a
simple task, as you have to get your phone connected to your serial
port and recognised by Cygwin).
Browse the Kannel mail archives to see what problems you may find in
the process.

Thanks again Rodrigo
But the real problem dat lies with me is that i am using windows for my
project.And as mentioned by u in ur prior mail i cant use kannel for the
purpose.Thats really dissapointing.
Well all that u said regarding fakesmsc or using a GSM phone in my USB port,
requires Kannel to be installed.Can I do all dat by installing the Kannel in
a Linux "virtual machine" ?

Hi Abhisek,
Kannel works as an ESME (that is, a client).
As an SMSC (server) you can use:
1) A real SMS service, provided by a phone operator (this will cost
you money, and I suppose you don't want to spend $$$ on it)
2) Fakesmsc, which is an utility provided with Kannel, for testing the
bearerbox and smsbox. It doesnt send any real messages to the outside
world.
or
3) a GSM phone or modem, connected to the serial/USB port of your
computer. Kannel uses this phone as an SMSC and you can send and
receive real SMS messages as if you were connected to a carrier
service. Although I have not tested this configuration, many users
have, so this is what I recommend.
Best regards,
Rodrigo.
