hmmm, sounds like our smppbox you are talking about?! ... you didn't
steal it from us Paul, did you? ;))

Ok getting back serious. So this is a SMPP server (or at least) SMPP
proxy, right?

ok, that's an argument that can hold. If we consider proxying an
submit_sm PDU via a chain like this:

  [submit_sm] -> SMPP proxy -> [Msg] -> bearerbox -> [submit_sm] ->
SMPP server

then I do agree to Paul that the data coding values should be
transparently delivered to the submit_sm PDU that goes it's way out of
bearerbox.

Is it possible that we miss some other SMPP specific fields that come
into account while re-converting back again to submit_sm PDU?
