Hi I had a similar problem with long php scripts updating several databases.
What I finally do is split the php script in 2 parts a way that I can respond back to kannel ASAP so kannel can continue with next message and then. I did this storing data in a temporary table and then launch the 2nd part of the script with a cron picking up the info from temp table and finish the process. Regarding the patent thing... In the US that kind of stuff is "legal". I worked some time ago for Glenayre Electronics who was suid by RIMM (BlackBerry) regarding the the way we used to send 2way paging messages between users and to the internet using smtp... well, we lost the claim !!!
