hi,

when i touched SMS last year for osmocombb, i looked at the openbsc code
and splitted it into openbsc-stuff, CP protocol and RP protocol. (the CP
and RP protocols carry SMS APDU over SAPI-3 link.) both protocols are in
libosmocore already. there is also a branch for openbsc (jolly/sms)
which has never been merged, iirc. it uses the CP/RP stuff from
libosmocore, similar to what osmocombb already does.

my suggestion now is that the SMSC interface should use the protocols
from libosomocore. this way it could be possible (with little additions
to osmocombb) to use the SMSC with the mobile side too. i think it could
be interesting, if SMSC would allow nice features like email gateway, so
we could have a mail gateway for the mobile side too. but maybe this is
a bad idea... let me know!

regards,

andreas
