Note on Installing Kannel on Centos4.2
I encountered a problem when tried to install kannel on centos4.2. The kannel package is available from dag repository.
This is my dag.repo:
#dag
[dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
When I yum install kannel, it got error:

From the Centos list, someone encountered similar problem, but he got it when he wanted to upgrade from centos4.1 to 4.2. Mine is installing on 4.2.
So, since the error is only regarding missing library, and since he said that sqlite from different version can be installed along side, I made a decision to force install sqlite from dag:
rpm -ivh –force sqlite-2.8.16-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]

In /usr/lib, now there is the needed library: libsqlite.so.0.
And then I used yum to install kannel:

Then I plugged the gsm modem in:
