Hi Herald,

Thanks for the quick response! My apologize for the delay - I was close to
get it working so wanted to put a mail after.
GSM_TAP was the key - Thank you for this help. External CC works well now.

There was no way I could figure it out, if I hadn't enabled GSM_TAP.
It said "Invalid mandatory information"
Just  compared mncc with internal and external CC - Debugged a little
further and realized 1 of the fields of bearer_cap was missing!

mncc-python is good - I read your blog. Made some changes (socket path).
Although it does fail with "Invalid mandatory information" - bearer cap
missing. I will have to look again at the code.


*Just an off topic Question*.
Osmo-sim-auth and pysim both same projects right?
Reason I asked since, I wrote all SIM API's in osmo-sim-auth and was
planning to push upstream and then realized there is a project pysim which
has all of that ?

Thanks,
Gerard
