Don't. There is an issue with cygwin and pthreads locking. It doesn't compile. Even if it did, performance would really suck...

Kannel can work with almost any serial modem. USB modems need drivers to map them to serial ports. In modems.conf there are a lot of preconfigured modems, as well as generic ones. There is a flcom entry there. If it doesn't suit you, can customize it (mostly init string). 2) The recommended aproach for low volume is the virtual smsc using a GSM modem. It is also the most expensive. Described in User's guide. 3) Kannel has wapbox, a wap gateway. It is used for wap, PPG. Otherwise if you only need to push, send sms, you don't need it. 4) I dunno. Someone else could help with that?

I recently got to know about Kannel. In my application, there are couple of Mobile interfaces. WAP & SMS. For these interfaces, we have so far used our own solutions. For SMS, we are using Active Experts library with Falcom Samba. For the WAP client, we are using Wall tag library. I would be glad if you can answer following of my questions: - Can we make Kannel work with Falcom GSM modems? Or is any other device type is supported? - What is the suggested approach for production environments for sending and receiving an SMS. Since we are small right now, I think we may not be able to get access to an SMSC of a carrier. - Do we need to deploy a WAP server in our network? I was told that most of the carriers and ISPs deploy the WAP gateways. In this scenario, is there any need for us to host a WAP gateway? - Is there any user story of using Kannel on a windows platform? Is there any user story of using Kannel with Active Experts SMS & MMS toolkit. Here I am looking at the MMS features of this library and the server features of the Kannel software. Best Regards, Nitin Gupta
