To my understanding a BSplus has an integrated BSC and connects direclty
ot the MSC using the A(SCCP/BSSAP/BSSMAP) interface.  you cannot connect
that to OpenBSC.

Even if you run the Interwave only as a BTS (without the 'plus'), then
you will need detailed documentation and/or protocol traces for their
A-bis OML, and then write the code for that in OpenBSC.  So even in the
most ideal situation, I wuold consider a couple of days software
development time are required.
