I am new to Kannel and I am not sure where to start. Briefly, I want to be able to send SMS messages under program control (PHP on a Linux server) to any mobile phone in the world. I would also like to receive SMS messages from mobile phones. To this end I have a Linux box (set up with Fedora 9) and Kannel. I have successfully compiled, started and tested the installation (using testsmsc). The problem is where do I go from here?
Specifically, how do I define the smsc groups for the various mobile providers (or even do I)? Where do I get the login information? Etc. Do I even need to? Do I require an GSM modem? If so, I have an Option GT MAX 3.6 express aircard with an AT&T sim with an unlimited text plan. Everything I read about using the modem seems to be that they are limited in speed. Therefore if there is another way (such as using an internet connection to the SMS Centers, I would prefer to use that. But I don't know how to find the connection/configuration information. I have been googling for the last several hours and have been unable to find the information. I would be most grateful for a roadmap or any information to move me further forward. Thanks, Michael
