yes, Kannel (or specifically the smsbox) can handle this. smsbox can have an HTTP request queueing mechanism where you can have several tries to deliver the HTTP request to the HTTP server. Please see user's guide for configuration directives. Now as smsbox will tried all HTTP GETs as failed, when no answer is given, it will retry to N times that you can configure. If it fails for all N times, then the smsbox will pass a "could not fetch" message to the user via bearerbox.
