Just a tought: I don't know your particular scenario and requirements, nor
the reasons for your app to require such a setup, but maybe if you already
have SMPP connections with the carriers you could bypass Kannel and
implement the connections at application level.

If that's your case, there's no need to use Kannel as a proxy between the 2
SMPP "sides" (unless you use it for routing/accounting/whatever, of course).

Regards,

Alejandro
