Hi Rene,
In my previous comment I said that making alt_charset is not necessary since
by using a full iso and decoding with the same one, it would yield the
original without errors, although it would be preferable to make it
configurable.
It turns out that not doing so, it would contradict kannel architecture. In
such a content bearerbox, doesn't try simply to recover original charset,
rather with alt_charset it tries to convert it to a new charset compatible
with the smsc. therefore it is necessary to make it configurable.
Since the list of features/client connection should be epandable, I would
recommend skipping the text file alltogether and instead create a new
configuration group, ie:
group = client
...
PS: Charset code was lift off gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c. It needs to be converted
to UTF-8 as well.
BR,
Nikos

Patch committed. Current revision of opensmppbox is 61.
Still todo: Make a configuration entry for alt-charset. Even though it is
not really necessary at the moment.

* gw/opensmppbox.c: Default GSM character set is converted to UTF-8
(Kannel's internal
way of exchanging messages). The facilitates foreign (e.g. greek)
characters.
Thanks to Nii Ako Ampa-Sowa (ampasowa at gmail.com) for the patch.

Subject: [PATCH] handling of non-latin GSM subset in opensmppbox
Hi,
opensmppbox doesn't seem to handle the non-Latin subset of the GSM character
set very well. This affects the Euro sign as well as Greek characters.
Attached is a patch that switches from using the Latin1 conversion routine
to the UTF-8 version.
