Thanks again Mike, what I am getting from this is that I the receiving of the SMS is not Kannel related. I can set up a php script independent of Kannel with with I can process and extract the SMS from the SMSC (in form of a URL). I was thinking Kannel handles this as well, now what I am getting is i need to install a web server as well isn't that correct?
