  I completely understand that you do not want to do this. 
  What you want to do is reject the incoming call.
  I don't know the AT command to do this.
  
  I tried with ATH and it works.

OK.

  In this case there is an alternative that at least two
  people (me and Hubert) think is much better than messing
  with smsc_at: a small external program that handles the
  
  Well an external program that does it is always an
  alternative solution isn't it?

Not always, but quite often.

  By the way don't forget the other solution is easier
  Under Unix enviroment, but not so easy under Windoze.

Why not? It should work equally well under Windows.

  You should try to compile mgetty, and then how can you run 
  the script?

While mgetty sounds like a sensible solution, I was not strictly
talking about it. A simple program (C, Java or whatever) that opens 
a serial port, initializes the modem, waits for RINGs and forwards 
the caller id through HTTP to Kannel is enough. Sounds like just a 
few hours hacking.

  Uhm, so you would have Kannel and another program to initialise
  the same port, I don't know if it's possible.
  Andrea

No, doing both, handling SMS and incoming calls over the same
modem would require that smsc_at does it all. That's why I jumped 
to my current proposal only when you told us that you want to
handle SMS over a different channel.

  There is a standard gsm AT command set, you can find it somewhere.
  I got AT command set description for siemens m20 GSM modem 
  (www.siemens.de) I don't think this can help, I would rather 
  suggest hacking some dial-in software, like mgetty. Maybe mgetty 
  can be ported to win2000. Maybe there is any other open source 
  dial-in software for win2000.

I feel the same way, but my understanding is that Andrea want's to use 
the same modem for SMS and the incoming call. In this case sharing the 
line is hard (impossible??).

OK, in this case my suggestion is to leave Kannel alone
and write a tiny program that does what you want. You can
use smsc_at for inspiration, but maybe it's easier to just
compile mgetty inside the Cygnus environment.

Putting this feature into the smsc_at just doesn't make sense.
smsc_at has a well defined task and adding complexity to make
it do something that could easily and cleaner done by an outside
program is just a bad architecture that will come back and bite 
you.

  Well, as I may send sms by other connections, 
  I just would like to have bearerbox listen to incoming
  ring, and then habe smsbox call an url passing the caller id,
  as actually is done when receiving an sms.
