Hello, Thank you for your detailed response! I'd love to see this work. :)

Great, that's what I hoped. Wanted to make sure I wasn't making some silly mistake, like not having some obviously required piece of hardware I had never heard of. ;) >Perhaps you should show what your config looks like. I was once told that >once you install kannel and you believe it's running, you can use an >application called fakewap in the distro to test if your setup is >actually doing what you expect. I found fakewap, and tried using it without any luck. I can still telnet to the configured port (9203) and bearerbox registers an attempt, but when I do so with fakewap, I get nothing. I thought maybe the problem was related the network setup on the machine I'm using (one NIC card facing inward to my network, another facing out with a static IP), so I compiled Kannel on another remote machine with a more vanilla setup (one NIC card, static IP, living at a colo, running RH), and am still experiencing the same exact issues as before. My configuration file looks like this: group = core admin-port = 13000 wapbox-port = 9203 admin-password = [deleted] wdp-interface-name = "*" log-file = "/tmp/bearerbox.log" log-level = 3 box-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*" box-deny-ip = "127.0.0.1" group = wapbox bearerbox-host = localhost log-file = "/tmp/wapbox.log" log-level = 3 syslog-level = none access-log = "/tmp/wapaccess.log" Requests to the http admin port 13000 seem to return okay, with correct server uptimes. Fakewap requests to 9203 die silently, unacknowledged by the server. >If your box has a static IP, then the problem is in your box, not your >provider. Are you able to browse/ping other sites from your box?

Yeah, both machines I've tried this on are active webservers, connected to the outside world with static IP's. I am certain there are no issues with TCP functionality itself. Thank you again for the assistance, -mike. --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html
