Hi,
There is a raw_tcp mode that might do what you want...
Kannel is an SMPP client, not server.

Subject: SMPP Server using telnet GSM modem
Hi,
I'm not at all sure this is possible but thought I'd lay the idea out in
full and see what you think, apologies for all the links! (I'm hoping they
illustrate things better than I can)
From what I gather SMPP is the closest standard protocol you can get for
sending/receiving SMS over a TCP/IP based network. I currently have one
of these units...
http://portech.com.tw/p3-product1_1.asp?Pid=14
Which is normally used as a SIP based GSM gateway, now although very handy
in itself the newest firmware supports the sending and receiving of SMS
namely because it contains two of these modules...
http://www.rfsolutions.co.uk/acatalog/tc35i_atc_v0301.pdf
That document contains all the AT commands, commands that from what I've
seen of other make/models of GSM modules are generally very similar at
least in regards to SMS.
It's very simple the send an SMS over telnet using the example in the user
guide on PDF page 36.
http://portech.com.tw/data/MV-372%20user%20manual.pdf
Would it be possible (or how much work might be needed) to get Kannel to
communicate with this device (which are proving more and more popular as
people adopt things like Asterisk and Freeswitch) over telnet to send and
receive SMS messages?
And can anyone recommend a free or open source (cross platform and/or web
based) SMPP client that I could then use to instruct Kannel to send and
receive these messages?
Essentially use Kannel as my SMPP server with an SMPP client or WebSMS
program... just as I have an SMTP server with an E-mail client or WebMail.
I could just write a PHP based web interface to interact with it on telnet
directly, but if SMPP is the standards way to go... I'd rather do that.
