does anyone here know about connecting to an SMSC using SMPP and sending/receiving SMS messages from yur system??

here's the architecture i've got in mind. tell me where i need to be corrected and please add to my knowledge wherever you can.

The mobile user sends and SMS message to a certain number (shortcode). We've contracted with the Mobile Service Provider to assign us a large account on the SMSC and a shortcode.

The SMSC receives the SMS message from the user's mobile and forwards it to our large account. there's software to retrieve this message from the SMSC using the TCP/IP o X.25 or X.31 SMSC Addressing protocols(if yuv got some new software names, please share)

The first problem is that we need to hav a static IP and i dont understand how the static IP fits into the game in this situation!! think anyone could help???

The software uses SMPP, UCP, OIS or CIMD2 SMSC Communication protocols to communicate with the SMSC and gets the SMS message PDU to our system. We process the SMS message PDU, do watever we want with the message and can send a reply to by generating and sending a message to the SMSC using the same software mentioned above.

The second place i'm having trouble is where i can find a workable software which is easily configurable or at least configurable for my purpose!!

the system i'm designing uses TCP/IP as the SMSC Addressing Protocol and SMPP as the SMSC Communication Protocol!! plus the front end needs to be in .NET ... so plz answer keeping these facts in mind!! i'll be more than glad to assist you in any architectural explanation anyone may require!! just explain wat the IP is doing in my perfectly neat architecture!! and also what will be the step by step procedure i need to follow to get the system functioning??

thx!!
