Yep, that all makes complete sense. Abstraction is great provided you can find a way to make it work with everything. Perhaps Kannel needs some way that you can define optional input fields for the front end & then a way to map them in the configuration file on to specific protocol output fields on the back end. That way you would have more flexibity to tune each particular deliverer without introducing vendor specific exceptions. I'll wander through the code & see if I can do anything to demonstrate what I mean. -- Ian Cass > > so -1 for this going to CVS, > > nisan > - At 11:30 AM 2004/07/14, you wrote: >> Alexander Malysh wrote: >>> Hi Ian, >>> >>> please no vendor specific things in kannel (vote -0 ;))... >> >> Understood. >> >> But perhaps if someone could think of a way for users to submit any >> optional parameter in the range 0x1400 to 0x3fff without the tag >> being named specifically mBlox?
