I experienced the exact same problem using WaveCom FastTrack M1213A-ON
(WM14226). You need to change the default init-string. In "group=modems"
my init string is set to:

init=string = "AT+CNMI=2,0,0,1,0"

Read your modem documentation for more details, but basically this will
cause incoming messages to be stored in the SIM card and wait for Kannel
to ask for the messages instead of immediately sending the "Message
Arrival" signal. Kannel won't ask for the messages in the SIM card while
it is busy sending messages from the queue.

I got the recommendation to change it to 1,0,0,1,0 but my modem defaults
the first parameter to 2 no matter what. Check your modem documentation.

Also, make sure to enable sim-buffering. I was also told to set
message-storage = "SM" but that caused Kannel not to start. I'm pretty
sure that is a default anyway because my modem stores the messages in
the SIM card.

Also, you may want to play with the keepalive directive in the
"group=smsc" section because the default is 60 seconds. Kannel checks
for messages in the SIM card at the keepalive interval.

Subject: Sending fails with command status -1

Hi

I have been using kannel for about a year now. Of recent
the traffic volume on the modem increased.

When am sending a batch of sms's and then one of the users
replies the system goes banana's and starts to return
command status -1 some times it even stops communication
with the modem and has to reopen the modem again.

I was using the 1.3.1 version but after looking at some
posts here as regards a similar error on redhat 9 i decided
to upgrade to the snapshot version but the same problem
prevails.

I tried seting the sms-incoming-queue-limit variable to
give priority to outgoing messages but to no avail.

Any idea's

   OS     : redhat 8
   kannel : snapshot
   modem  : wavecom fasktrack wm14080

Andrew
