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. ;)

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.

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,
