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.
