Re: few queries
You can overcome the HTTP overhead using SQLBOX to queue the outgoing messages. It's far faster than doing an HTTP request for each message and it's also more efficient. Having the sqlbox installed, you just insert the messages in the send_sms table and the sqlbox queues the messages directly.

Hello
Sriram,
1.
Maybe the other Kannel experts can shed a light on this. But for sure Kannel
SHOULD be able to send 350 msgs in a row without breaking.
2. As
a lame workaround: Why don't you put a "sleep" command in your visual basic
program after every http request. This until the issue has been
resolved.

various mobile numbers picking the numbers from the database. These http
commands (send-sms URL i.e) are sent to the kannel box. Till there were around

logs and empty the database till the point the smsbox broke. This is now
getting a habit with it.
my queries :
1. Is the web server thats included with kannel

2. Or is there any kind wherein i

RE: few queries
I can
give some advice that others on this list are likely to give
you.
Try
upgrading to Kannel CVS Head. It is considered more stable than
1.4.0.
I know
it sounds a bit lame. But probably it will help. Maybe it doesn't. But it sure
is worth a try.
