Sébastien Lorquet squalyl at gmail.comHi! just to let the list know that the sim project is not dead, but just like you I have other (paid) works to complete before. I'm working on it with feedback and testing from Dieter. We're not so far from having something functional for osmocombb. I should have posted an update before, and of course I'll announce when it's complete^W openly publishable. Let me say that anyone with javacard skills, or willing to develop such skills, is welcome. my code is not in oscombb git yet, but is still available to anyone asking from svn. Knowning that we're building the world's first free software GSM stack is a good motivation for me, and I'm glad to help where I can.
