Hi Domi,

Thanks! While I building the same, I was wondering 'may be SAP protocol'
was built for it.
But thanks again for confirming it!
And Yes, I used an external card reader too. I did not check all osmocom
projects, just checked out softSIM it does mention SAP.
Sounds great! Thanks for the feedback again.

Thanks,
Gerard
