The bearerbox is being started before.
Here below is the init script we use to start the service
```
#!/bin/sh
# Start/stop the Kannel boxes: One bearer box and one WAP box.
# This is the default init.d script for Kannel. Its configuration is
# appropriate for a small site running Kannel on one machine.
# Make sure that the Kannel binaries can be found in $BOXPATH or somewhere
# else along $PATH. run_kannel_box has to be in $BOXPATH.
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: kannel
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Should-Start: $network $named
# Should-Stop: $network $named
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: SMS and WAP gateway
# Description: Kannel is a gateway for connecting WAP phones to the
# Internet. It also works as an SMS gateway.
### END INIT INFO

# On Debian, the most likely reason for the bearerbox not being available
# is that the package is in the "removed" or "unconfigured" state, and the
# init.d script is still around because it's a conffile. This is normal,
# so don't generate any output.
