The Internet actually ran significantly faster on Christmas day because everyone else was doing 'real' stuff and not mucking about online.

on my way to the optional friday meeting of early arrivers to RetroNetConf, our small German-language meeting of various #retronetworking enthusiasts https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/RetroNetConf_2025 #telecommunications #isdn
Playing what's probably my favourite album by The Future Sound of London, ISDN. I doubt I'll listen to the original version anymore, I tend to go with the 30th anniversary edition now.

Karsten Wildberger ( #CDU ) wird unser neuer #Digitalminister ...
Hurra, wir kriegen alle bald #ISDN !
My #WarezScene & #Trader Heart is jumping like heaven and it feels like first #ISDN line in 1993 ;)
@lpbkdotnet I don't know if I'm any help, but I love the idea of reviving #isdn hardware
Is anyone able to lay their hands on a firmware image for a Samsung Ubigate IBG1004?
It’s an #isdn to #sip #telephone gateway, and the one I’ve got seems to be corrupt and won’t decompress.
My usual haunts for firmware images are coming up blank.
The filename will be something like `iBG1004_Advanced_1.6.1.9.Z` - but I'm really not too fussy about the version number!
Please boost if you think you have followers that can help!
In the past I have downloaded a Counter-Strike update for hours over ISDN, burned it on a few CDs and gave it to my friends in school because they did not have a flatrate.
Today we have this and I am still not patient. Probably I should upgrade to 1 GBit/s...
Wat ik mij afvraag, of #ISDN uiteindelijk niet op een Amerikaanse infra is gestapt met een aantal van hun diensten. Minimaal Europees en het liefst natuurlijk op de Nederlandse infra.
So schade drum! Die ist ja noch fast neu!
@vwestlife #Funfact: In #Europe, #Cband dishes weren't common so #SatelliteInternet used simiar #Tuner cards with #VSAT terminals, usually accepting downlinks from regular commercial #TV #satellites that were just data channels on #ASTRA and/or #Eutelsat #HotBird in the #KuBand...
- Later they got some fancy "SAT-Routers" that combines a #DVB-S downlink and an #analog #56k / #ISDN modem for uplink if not offered to use #2G #mobile networks as well...
I've got one of those:
Basically a #Router with some #Linux on Ethernet, Power & F-Screw-Connector on the rear, #56k& #ISDN #Modem|s and USB up-front.
- And yes, I used that to share a #dialup connection with multiple devices, because they can do that!

@GossiTheDog I remember the feature, but in retrospect it seems it was introduced without any safeguards here in Germany - and became maybe a 70+% standard (most people used it by default) when #ISDN became a thing. #old
The German language podcast "Besser Wissen - Alles über ein Netz" by @Golemde chatting with me about #ISDN history / #retronetworking has just been released at https://besserwissen.podigee.io/120-isdn
Oh, der #Golem #BesserWissen #Podcast spricht in der aktuellen Folge mit @LaF0rge über #ISDN. ❤️
Dabei geht es neben dem historischen #Bundespost/Telekom-Netz u.a. auch um das ISDN-Netz auf dem #CCCamp und dem #38C3 mit Exkursen zum analogen #Telefonnetz und #Modem / #Akustikkoppler / #Datenklo / #DSL / #Musiktaxi.

At #38C3 I received a new addidion to my #ISDN related #retronetworking collection of vintage tech: A Siemens K4301 Up0/S0 error meter: https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/Siemens_K4301
Exzellenter umfangreicher Artikel ueber die Entwicklung digitaler Schaltkreise fuer digitale Uebertagung und Vermittlung von Telefonie in der DDR: http://www.gheinz.de/publications/berliner_ics/index.htm #retronetworking #isdn #gdr #telephony
Tonight (Jan 1st) at 20:00 CET, we'll have a RetroNetCall with some reports from the #38C3 #ISDN network operations. Everyone interested is invited to join us. Details at https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/RetroNetCall #retronetworking
Mir scheint, https://media.ccc.de/ ist nun auch via #ISDN angebunden.
FYI: Our #ISDN PRI, BRI and analog POTS ports are also available in the YoloColo server co-location. This means you can bring your server or other communications gear and hook it up to our network there. @c3noc https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/infos/yolocolo.html #38C3
