Kannel uses IP connections. However it gives you the ability to
send/receive SMS over the air (vityual SMSc). To send/receive SMS over the
air, you need a GSM modem. In any other case you just need a connection to
your SMSc.

Thanks. Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I get a connection to a
provider using SMPP? (Or, where can I find more information about that?)

Hi Eamon,
You need an SMS Centre; this can take the form of a GSM modem, or you
can get a connection to a provider using the SMPP protocol over a TCP/IP
connection.
Have a read of this section of the user guide:

Hello,
I am new to Kannel, and I'm a little confused about how it works. To be
able to send out SMS messages from Kannel, do I need to have an
external hardware device?
Thanks.
