In that case, you would not need Asterisk at all. If you can create
call files can you hit a URL from your CRM as well?
The config files for Kannel are very simple with slight alterations
from the samples generated from what is created from building from
source. Most of the alterations are to use the Sony phones as GSM
modems.
Kannel's learning curve is slight if you are just using it for simple
SMS through a GSM modem, of course, doing WAP Push or proxying
requires a bit more in the way of learning.
