Alright. Would I be I correct in saying that I can also use a GSM
mobile phone instead of a GSM modem to send SMS over the air? If this
is true, how would I go about setting up a phone as a virtual SMSc, or
where can I find information regarding this?
Thanks for your patience!

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.
