Hi Guillaume, Thanks for your advice. But i've forgotten to mention that the App server could telnet into some ports like 80,23 . Does that imply it's more of a port access problem?
I've read that to enable a port accessible through TCP-IP, /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf are the files involved. I've already added these lines into /etc/services: kannel 13131/tcp # Kannel send sms port kannel 13131/udp # Kannel send sms port For /etc/inetd.conf, it seemed to need a kannel daemon. Hence it stays unedited. Would reconfiguring Kannel with --enable-start-stop-daemon help? How would i know whether the existing Kannel has this option? Can someone point me to the right direction? It's urgent as the Kannel is expected to be in production by today :P.
