Trying to set up Kannel to receive SMS messages

Hi
I could be suffering from a basic misunderstanding of how
SMSC's/Kannel works, however if someone could help me out I would be
grateful!
I am currently running Kannel and send in SMS messages using the
sms-push feature, which are then delivered to a number of SMSC's (I am
specifying which SMSC-ID to use in the sms-push request), each
connected via SMPP.
This is fine and Kannel is working very well to send many thousands of
SMS messages per day, however I am trying to experiment and have
Kannel actually *host* an SMPP SMSC. Is this possible?
The scenario I am trying involves 2 computers, A and B
On computer A I would like to "host" an SMPP SMSC, and I would like to
connect to the SMPP SMSC on computer A from computer B.
Is this possible, or am I misunderstanding what can be done?
Thanks
Pete

Hi,
quick answer is: NO
Kannel cannot act as SMPP server. There is a commercial addon called =
'smppbox' . For more info contact to Stipe Tolj.

Well, there is actually a fake SMPP smsc, test/test_smpp but it won't =
actually deliver any SMS. I am confused by what you mean "host" SMS. If =
you are seeking final delivery to destination, you are asking for a real =
SMSc, which neither kannel, nor SMPPbox is. SMPPBox is an SMPP proxy, in =
other words it will accept SMPP connections, but will forward them to a =
bearerbox which will send them to a real SMSc.
