Thanks for the information! I have a working but somewhat shallow
understanding of the code, but maybe I can give it a shot.
I have a GSM test lab set up - I'm limited by the speed of sending SMS and
was hoping SMS over GPRS would be a solution. I am also considering
Osmocom's experimental 3G support (with new hardware) which may be a more
appropriate solution without requiring additional dev work.

I think there is little effort in the actual transmission of the SMS over
a GPRS channel itself. The bigger question is who will handle it and where.
SMS handling so far was/is inside the NITB, and GPRS handling is inside the
SGSN
So the logical choice is to first externalize the SMSC code from the NITB
(or now OsmoMSC on which Neels is working) and then simply talk to that
external smsc from both the SGSN and the MSC.
In terms of effort, I would assume anywhere between one and two weeks full
time for somebody familiar with the code.
Regards,
Harald.
