Hi,
Maybe there is a way to do it from kannel, with some help from your
application.
Your application has to emulate the SMPP SMSc. In other words, speaking SMPP
protocol, it has to initiate an MO to kannel. I believe your application
already speaks SMPP.
You will need an MO2MO redirection. You have to define 2 SMPP SMSc in your
kannel.conf. 1 connected to your application, mo2mo, the other to the real
SMPP, smpp.
Basically, everything coming in from mo2mo inbound ideally bypasses all
bearerbox routing and goes directly to smpp outbound interface. Similarly
for all incoming traffic from smpp to mo2mo to your application.
Another approach, not so elegant, is to use the sms-service default only
from specific smsc, m2mo, and feed your SMS back into your sendsms
interface, which will be configured to your real smpp SMSc.
Usefull reading to get you started would be redirected replies, p 95 CVS
User Guide, and MT2MO redirection p. 63.
This is just an idea. Basically you have to try it and let us know about the
results. On the other hand, with people developing their own SMPP proxies,
you cannot do it through kannel.
But in theory, you should.

Nikos

Hello Richard,
if your own apps talk SMPP (client), you'll need a commercially
available add-on to Kannel, tu turn it into an SMPP server. Several
people on this list offer their smpp addons for licensing. If you
don't have that addon, you can only feed messages into Kannel by HTTP
or SQL (sqlbox), and have kannel relay them with its own SMPP client
to the carrier.
