Wir haben Internet. Sort of.
Für ein Gewerbegebiet, das keine 500m Luftlinie vom Hauptbahnhof weg ist, ist das ein wenig … dünn. Mag uns jemand zeitgemäßes/schnelleres Internet empfehlen? Vielleicht von einem lokalen Akteur? Gerne per PM.

@vuuc im #retronetworking scannen wir viele Bücher und Unterlagen zur historischen telekommunikations-/fernmeldetechnik, Schwerpunkt späte 60er bis 2000, teils aber auch älter. Mich würde die Liste der Duplikate interessieren.
A day that starts with a #clabretro upload and promises of D&D later in the day? Not a bad day at all.
Clab continues to scratch my #Retro #Sun itch with today's upload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKPVI-qFjLU
Datenfreiheit, wir spüren dich schon!

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
Für episodenechte Vernetzung suchen wir …
• RS232-Karte für Apple II bzw. ][
• schnelle RS232-Karten für Amiga 2000/3000
• schnelle RS232-Karten für Mac Nubus (030/040/PPC)
• RS232-Karte für Acorn RiscPC oder A3000
Im FreiȻIX können wir jetzt endlich ARCNET routen bzw. verarbeiten, dank zweier neuer THOMAS CONRAD Karten. 2,5 MBit/s per Coax über RG-62-Kabel. Token Passing!
Heutzutage sind die meisten CIX’e ja soooo festgefahren auf Ethernet … wir sind da offener!

@_the_cloud @kalleboo @mroach Do you happen to have the SMTP gateway extension for Microsoft Mail?
This time we're netbooting OS/2 Warp.
Like McDonald's, I'm lovin' it!

@vga256 The Cisco 2500 is a mighty box for its time, and for sure it can route faster than a LC475 – if you’re running Mac OS on the Mac and not some BSD.
But in terms of raw CPU performance, the LC’s 68040/25 runs circles around an 68030/25, it is 2-3 times faster due to the large 8 KB L1 cache and optimizations.

This is neat. 👌🏾
Netbooting Windows 95 from NT Server 4.0 on a diskless client.
does anyone know a museum or collection that contains a working/operational Ericsson AXE10 digital telephone exchange? #telecom #ericsson #history #retronetworking
I got an #analog #rotary #dialphone #Vorzimmerapparat 38" by "VEB #Fernmeldetechnik Nordhausen", used in a two-#extension-boss-secretary-#pbx, and #modded it to work on public #phone lines (#POTS), while giving the existing user interface elements meaningful uses:
* Faintly glowing LED while on hook and flashing while #ringing
* Buttons: Earth, flash, mute microphone
#Video of the ringing #telephone (with sound) is here: https://faircloud.eu/nextcloud/index.php/s/jDgS9XgBXAY7gjq
@steely_glint @voltur In terms of people I know: @hanshuebner was certainly a "creative" user of X.25 back in the day and still plays with it today, primarily in the context of VAX machines, AFAICT. #retronetworking
upstream #linux #kernel developers talking about removing the in-kernel echo cancellation code that has no in-tree users anymore (however, out-of-tree DAHDI can optionally make use of it). See https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/23/416 and the responses for details. I don't think it's critical at all. #retronetworking
Spent some time fighting the Tandberg C60 to play nicely with #asterisk tonight, but happy to report that we got there.
It really _really_ wants to use H323, y'all, and saving certain SIP parameters via the web interface is bugged to hell (like auth?) -- you've got to jump into the CLI and set the parameters manually.
Made tweaks to codec lists on device and pbx, and we have g.722+h263p SIP calls working.
Wrapped it up with a nice custom wallpaper bow.
@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...
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.

I really want to get this #Force10 C300 switch into the #HomeLab to play with, but the thing is so damn heavy. Its lived on this cart for like four years now because moving it anywhere else is too arduous.
On top of that is some #Avaya #IPOffice gear, though, and we will definitely be connecting that up to the telephony lab.
Some adventures installing @openwrt@lemdro.id
@openwrt@lemmy.world on a #Google #WiFi "puck" (AC-1304)
If you follow the directions between the links: https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi
and the updated details in this thread
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/finally-installed-openwrt-on-my-google-wifi-ac-1304/183541/2
you can get #OpenWRT installed on those #Google #Wifi #pucks (AC-1304).
It is a bit of a challenge, since you are flying blind based on the light colors and blinking of the puck; along with the typical poor documentation of open source projects (as typical, written as someone is well familiar with the topic and process, rather than written in a #KISS for the #n00b).
Once installed, you can configure as #repeaters following this tutorial
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration
and the video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfmx5NjIWLQ.
