PS8:

what? I thought it was clear (at least to me) that the backend was to be selected using osmo-pcu VTY […]

Hmm. sounds too simple to me.

But then the user must configure the BTS type in osmo-bsc and osmo-pcu. When the BSC just tells the PCU which PHY to use things would be much easier. No need to configure anything at the PCU side. Just set up the PDCH and the E1 lines in osmo-bsc and thats it.

To signal which PHY to use I would just add another primitive that is sent once on startup. It would essentially contain just an integer. I don't want to cram it in the info-ind since info-ind is sent multiple times. Also the flags in info-ind are not so suitable since they are limited.

I didn't implement anything in that regard yet. Whats your idea on this?
