Hi,

let me clarify here:

What you refer to is the Kannel SMPP v3.4 server (smppbox) that I provide under
a commercial add-on license. The above is the offering from Donald Jackson, who
is also a Kannel group member and is entitled to re-sell licenses for the Kannel
SMPP v3.4 server (smppbox).

The Kannel opensmppbox is an open sourced SMPP server originally developed by
Rene Kluwen, who is also a Kannel group member. The opensmppbox is available via
our SVN repository.

So what's the difference?

A lot! The opensmppbox is handy for very basic tasks, but lacks all the extended
capabilities that the commercial smppbox has, which is developed continuously
since more then 8 years.

Here are some statistics to give you an impression about the difference impact:

Kannel opensmppbox:
<caption>Source line statistics 2010-11-09</caption>
<tr> <td>Number of files<td>       <td>4</td></tr>
<tr> <td>Lines total</td>          <td>2897</td></tr>
<tr> <td>Non-empty lines</td>      <td>2573</td></tr>
<tr> <td>Lines with semicolons</td><td>1069</td></tr>

Kannel smppbox:
<caption>Source line statistics 2010-11-09</caption>
<tr> <td>Number of files<td>       <td>139</td></tr>
<tr> <td>Lines total</td>          <td>71149</td></tr>
<tr> <td>Non-empty lines</td>      <td>46294</td></tr>
<tr> <td>Lines with semicolons</td><td>17772</td></tr>

Elite SMS gateway is aka arch.tech, which is entitled by me to provide Kannel
SMPP v3.4 server (smppbox) licensing.

So, everything fine here. Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your awareness.
