OK, good. Sounds scary, though. I would prefer FIND message when
things go righth :).

Hmm.. I was convinced that there was some kind of SIM card simulation
implemented in the software and that for basic connection no physical
SIM card was needed...

So, as I understood, to have a cell attachment and to have some
packets exchange I will need to pull Sylvain's branch, as I have no
network nor PC/SC SIM card reader...

Yes indeed. I had no idea what was happening, as I was expecting code
from the master branch to be operational. I saw NO SIM warning, but as
I told you, I thought that there was a SW SIM simulation
implementation somewhere inside protocol stack and that no real SIM
card was needed for the basic communication (I just want to see few
packets coming down the stack to get idea of data flow, so I can later
look at the source code and see how they are processed at each layer).

Thanks !
