DESCRIPTION

       Kannel  is  an  WAP  and  SMS  gateway.   WAP  is short for Wireless Application Protocol, and is used to
       implement hypertext based services on mobile phones.  SMS is short for Short Message Service, and is used
       to  send  and recive short (up to 160 characters) text messages with mobile phones.  SMS can also be used
       to implement simple text based services on mobile phones.

       Kannel consists of three programs, usually run as daemons: bearerbox, wapbox, and smsbox.  They implement
       the  connection  to  the  phone  (SMS  or  UDP),  the  WAP  protocol  stack,  and the SMS based services,
       respectively.
