Yaw,
Thanks for sharing your configuration, you bring up a great point
about the difficulty of obtaining proper configs. . . . I spent two
days trying to get a wavecom modem to play nice . . . to no avail.
Does anyone on the list know of any external resources that aggregate
configuration info for kannel? I know the modems.conf file was updated
recently, but it's still lacking a lot of working and tested configs.
Would the list be supportive of an external site that aggregated +
shared this info?
My expertise is in web development, not AT Commands and Modem
configs . . . but I would be more than happy to spend the time setting
up a wiki / web site where people could contribute, and hopefully
avoid the hours of frustration I've dealt with getting kannel to work
well with various flavors of modems.
Who would be the proper point of contact on the kannel dev team to
discuss this with?
List - please advise.
thanks,
-Ben

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.

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.
