Hello LoloVioLo and Eduardo, I've ran trough the same questions a while ago. In the need of setting up a SMS sending service, I also stumbled upon those PHP and Perl API. Using those scripts you would be forced to add CRON tasks which would kind of emulate what Kannel does. Why re-invent the wheel :-)
>From there on, my problem was to configure Kannel. If you need any help, feel free to ask me. I'm still in the process of configuring it but I can tell you about the questions and answers I got. Without a doubt the most annoying and stupid issue I had was the sendsms-user (pass/username) configuration: when editing emacs don't forget to 'delete-trailing-whitespaces' before saving :-) -- Quoc-Quang SRENG B0BUN Productions gsm : +33 6 59906130 On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 6:58 PM, Eduardo Raad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hey Loloviolo, > > I think Kannel is the best solution for you.
