Hi, I presume you have downloaded kannel sources. There is a file called "modems.conf" with explicit suport for various serial modems. There is also a "generic type" which can be adapted to any serial GSM modem. Depending on your OS (i.e. Linux) you can use also USB modems, as long as suitable USB to serial drivers exist to convert it to serial.
In short, any serial modem will work with kannel. In Linux, also USB modems. Solaris doesn't have drivers for USB modems. GSM modems are for low volume, high cost SMS. For high volume you need to talk to your provider about SMSc access.

I am trying to find out what cell provider I should use and what type of device is compatible with US Carriers. If at all possible, I would like to use t mobile or sprint. What external modem should I buy and what cell company should I purchase service from? Thanks, -- Josh Richesin
