Hi Kannel is the right tool to do what you want.
Regarding the short code, you need to contract it with a local operator or use an agregator/sms gateway that will provide it to you. Depending on your choice you need to set kannel so it will connect to the SMSC(agregator/operator/gateway) of your choice You need to feed messages to kannel using smsbox so Kannel will send it to your SMSC. You need to set kannel to forward incomming messages to an http interface of your own so you can handle MO and respond accordingly to the keyword of the message. Also you will need to develop some sort of app that will handle in/out messages and store them in a database if needed.
