Sorry about replying directly to you Nikos. I didn't realize that kannel wasn't also replying to the list. Forwarding to the list with additional questions.

Is anyone familiar with compressed SMS messages (GSM 03.42). A scribd document (http://www.scribd.com/doc/6823124/handlingSMS) indicates that my TP-DCS (data_coding in the PDU) might be significant. If the fifth bit is 1 then GSM 03.42 is being used to compress the SMS message. And 240 decimal is 11110000 binary. Does kannel have support for GSM 03.42? Or if not, does anyone on the list have a patch that decodes GSM 03.42? Thanks for any pointers, Gerald Quimpo
