Kannel: Cannot Send or receive SMS

Question

I am trying to send and receive SMS via kannel. I have set everything, no errors but still it cannot send or receive any sms. I am using Huawei E160 modem and Ubuntu 11 as my OS. Here is the log file:

Answer 1

As I indicated above, my script and configurations are correct. I just figured out that the E160 modem is not good for sms and kannel. There is loss of signals, I don't know why though. I used E173 and E220 huawei modems and they work well.
