Running GSM algorithm and its ilk

[etkal]

I have been asked to look into whether an application we have written ro PocketPC will work on an XDA device. It currently uses the PC/SC API to access a SIM card in a Cardman PCMCIA carrier. I need to find out if we can either use the PC/SC API to run GSM SIM commands to the SIM/USIM in the built in reader, e.g. reading files, unlocking the PIN, getting status, running the GSM or AUTH algorithm and retrieving results.

Is the PC/SC API supported? Are there equivalent functions in the RIL API? Where is some good documentation on low-level SIM card access in this environment?

Thanks,
Erik Tkal

the only method to communicate with SIM card is through the GSM modem's AT commands.

Maybe you've got a quick hint - how I can use AT commands to milk the SIM card for its GSM triplets?
