Users,
I'm planning a project so I am looking for advice and corrections on
what I think Kannel can do.
I have:
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Samba 75 (Siemens MC75) USB modem with the modem scripts
- it can connect with another SMSC program on port ../tty.usbmodem1B11
or ../cu.usbmodem1B11 (not sure the difference but both seem to work)
I have compiled Kannel 1.4.2 on my Mac but haven't properly configured
and used it as a SMSC to send and receive messages. I plan on recompling
with Kannel 1.4.3 as the bug report suggests.
I also have php scripts setup to receive the HTTP GET requests.
Here's what I need Kannel to do:
(1) forward the received messages through a HTTP GET across the internet;
(2) to run as a Mac daemon so I can sleep the computer and it will still run
(3) to tell me the signal strength of the modem (i.e. how many 'bars' so
I know I'm not in a deadzone);
(4) automatically restart itself if it loses connection to modem (I
believe this is called parachute mode);
(5) and store messages received locally in a database (I believe this
done through an addon called sqlbox; I use MAMP for a local instance of
MySQL but would use anything that would work with this system).
So I am hoping Kannel can hit a home run and do all that! Please correct
me if I'm wrong and point me in the right direction on these 5 things
to create this Kannel system.
Thanks.
