Hi again, Thank you for pointing out things I need to look out for,
I think my problem is the questionable stability of my modem. I tried to use another usb to serial cable which I use to configure another equipment; however I still get the same result, the modem can be detected but it cannot send messages successfully. Now when I try to send messages with kannel, sometimes in the smsc.log, I see that there are no Generic error when sending some messages and for some other messages the generic error thing still occurs. In the end messages are not sent successfully to the mobile phones intended to be the recipient. Do you think my suspicion is right? and what modems/phones could anyone recommend for me to use with kannel?

When I type AT it says ok, but when I try other AT commands that I see kannel is using to send a particular message it always says error. For example: AT+CMGS=24^M > hello ERROR I also tried to use wvdial, and it can detect my modem on the usb port I connected my modem to. My OS can also detect it for when I look for the log in /var/log/messages I can see the following: Sep 17 15:03:52 host kernel: pl2303 2-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected Sep 17 15:03:52 host kernel: usb 2-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Sep 17 15:03:52 host kernel: usbcore: registered new driver pl2303 Sep 17 15:03:52 host kernel: drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver Does this mean my problem is really my gsm modem?

I hope it's not hardware related as I have read on some other posts. But if it is might as well face it and replace my current gsm modem.

I have successfully configured it in the past enabling my gsm modem to send and receive messages to and from a mobile phone. However, now, whenever I try to send messages with kannel, I always get a generic error as follows: 2008-09-29 11:32:41 [17132] [6] INFO: AT2[TSG]: AT SMSC successfully opened. 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: TP-Validity-Period: 24.0 hours 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: --> AT+CMGS=24^M 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: <-- 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: <-- > 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: send command status: 1 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: --> 0011000B819080893786F40000A70BC8329BFD06DDDF723619 2008-09-29 11:33:09 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: --> ^Z 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: <-- ERROR 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] ERROR: AT2[TSG]: Generic error: ERROR 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: send command status: -1 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: --> AT+CMGS=24^M 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: <-- > 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: send command status: 1 2008-09-29 11:33:19 [17132] [6] DEBUG: AT2[TSG]: --> 0011000B819080893786F40000A70BC8329BFD06DDDF723619 I have tried to reset the modem I am using several times and also reinstall my kannel;but, unfortunately I still get the same error. I read in some posts that this problem could be caused by an unstable modem or SMSC. Could there be any work around on this? I just really need to revive my Kannel installation. Thanks in advance,
