This is actually not true.  Sierra released a document titled "CDMA 1xEV-DO CnS
Reference" under a Creative Commons license.  It has since disappeared from the
Internet, but private copies exist. ;)  There are a large number of specifics
not covered by this document, but it does cover the basics of speaking CnS.

Actually, I recall you mentioning this document here:

http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2010/04/15/mobile-broadband-and-qualcomm-proprietary-protocols/

I can post the document somewhere if it would be helpful.  It's only 279KB.

Thanks,
Forest
