I have had Kannel running for a couple of months without a hitch.  For no
apparent reason, a couple of weeks ago it suddenly quit sending messages but
started queuing them.  I am using a Multitech modem.  When I looked at
Kannel's status page it showed my SMSC connection name in red and the SMS:
sent (in the middle of the status page) said "(98 queued)".

I tried to to restart Kannel and bearer box would not shut down.  I assume
it was waiting to process the queued messages.  I finally kill -9'd it and
restarted Kannel.  It would not connect to my modem.  So I shut Kannel back
down.  I left it down for a couple of days until I had some time to look at
it.  When I started kannel up again, everything was working fine.  I never
like problems that fix themselves because I know they will be back.

Two days ago it stopped sending messages again, after only 3 days of
functioning.  This time the SMS connection does not show in red but,
everything is being queued.  I have tried to shutdown just the SMSC
connection to my modem.  The response I get is "Denied".  Can this only be
done if I have included a password in the smsc group in the config file?

I also tried to place kannel in the suspend mode using the status password
but also received the "Denied" response.

Below I have included the current response page.  Can anyone tell me why
Kannel would simply start queuing instead of sending messages?  Could this
be a full memory problem in my modem?  If it could, what are the best
settings for equipment/memory/SIM usage using a GSM modem to manage the
memories of this equipment?  I asked this question earlier without any
response here:

Thanks for any help you can give.  I really appreciate it.
