Hi

An option would be to do the conversion by yourself either through hacking
kannel or by using an intermediate smsc that will do the conversion.

something like:

before:
ESME -> Opensmpp -> kannel -> your_carrier_smsc

after:
ESME -> Opensmpp -> kannel -> htttp_smsc -> kannel -> Your_carrier_smsc

In http-smsc you can have an app/script that will receive ESME messages,
convert them accordingly and feed them back to kannel for delivery to your
carrier smsc. This will however increase delay and load on your side.

You will also need to figure out how to reroute dlrs -if you use them- to
your ESME since kannel will try to deliver them to the http-smsc.

Hope helps.

Alvaro
