In my opinion kannel-bearerbox should recommend (but not depend on) kannel-smsbox and suggest kannel-wapbox - exactly to allow running from separate machines. > I suppose it could be helpful to explicitly check the version at the > beginning of each connection and log an error blaming the > administrator, but that would be an upstream issue. I don't know if Kannel not already spits out sensible errors in log messages, but if not then yes, that's a good suggestion to pass upstream. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
