<DIV>Hi Klaus,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You make good points about using existing software such as Kannel. IMO we need a well engineered and thought out solution not a hack so either Kannel should be enhanced to support SIP messages or there should be an http module for SER (may be a variation of sipsak) to interface with Kannel.</DIV>
