Dear all,

not really important, but still two remarks:

* GPRS related questions should preferrably go to the osmocom-net-gprs list

* RACH for packet service is not equal PRACH.  PRACH is a dedicated
  logical channel on the Um interface that _can_ be enabled (like PBCCH,
  PCCCH, ...) but whihc is neither supported by osmo-bts/osmo-pcu, nor
  used anywhere.  The 3GPP removed the PBCCH/PCCCH and all related
  channels several years ago from the specs, as there was no operator
  known to use any of them.  So new handsets no longer (have to) support
  those channels, which means it is utterly useless for a new
  implementation like the Osmocom one to bother to support them.

Regards,
	Harald
