i've been struggling to get kannel to work with a fairly popular sms modem. i've finally figured it out and i'm sending this out in case others have this problem.
i am using kannel v1.4.1 in ubuntu 8.01 (hardy heron). i have a falcom samba 75 usb gsm gprs edge modem. i got it from expansys at http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=136849/. the modem identifies itself in kannel and gammu as a siemens mc75 device. below is the working modem definition with which i can receive and send smses. the messages, once processed are discarded. group = smsc smsc = at modemtype = siemens_mc75 device = /dev/ttyACM0 group = modems id = siemens_mc75 name = "Siemens MC75" detect-string = "SIEMENS" detect-string2 = "MC75" speed = 115200 init-string = "AT+CNMI=2,2,0,1,1" message-storage = "ME" if you want more information about how i figured this out, read the following. http://www.activexperts.com/activcomport/at/hayes/ http://www.activexperts.com/activcomport/tutorials/sms/ http://www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/sms/ if all fails, switch to gammu at http://www.gammu.org/. manually configuring things as connection=at115200 and model=at worked pretty well. i really hope the kannel community starts posting lists of currently available devices that works with their code and the configs for those devices. right now, it's way too hard to get things up and running.
