Antonio, You're right about Kannel capabilities, except for the SMPP part.
Kannel can act as an SMPP _client_, that's it: Connect to SMSCs using SMPP, but cannot act as an SMPP _server_. You can't use Kannel to provide an SMPP interface to ESMEs, for that an "smppbox" would be required and AFIK there is no such a box in developing. You can use the http interface (the so-called "sendsms" interface) to send MT messages from Kannel and maybe use that in combination with the sms-service directives to implement your own http api (using any language of your choice) and give that to ESMEs to connect to you (that's what we are doing so far and it works nicely).
