DESCRIPTION
     Kannel  is  an  WAP and SMS gateway.  WAP is short for Wireless Application
     Protocol, and is used to  implement  hypertext  based  services  on  mobile
     phones.   SMS  is	short for Short Message Service, and is used to send and
     recive short (up to 160 characters) text messages with mobile phones.   SMS
     can also be used to implement simple text based services on mobile phones.

     Kannel  consists of three programs, usually run as daemons: bearerbox, wap-
     box, and smsbox.  They implement the connection to the phone (SMS or  UDP),
     the WAP protocol stack, and the SMS based services, respectively.
