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!

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.

does anyone know a museum or collection that contains a working/operational Ericsson AXE10 digital telephone exchange? #telecom #ericsson #history #retronetworking
@loriemerson @w8emv @mediaarchaeologylab I'd probably have never found the #othernetworks tag on my own (like the elsewhere-mentioned #retronetworking tag), looking forward to falling down that rabbit hole!
I've not yet personally played with #appletalk beyond some scratchy memories as a user from long-enough-ago, but do recall some recent posts where people were playing with it -- and trying to run it over barbed wire or something? Not sure if that's the same group, but it looked fun.
Thanks!
You may now point your terminal (emulator) of choice towards office.c3post.de:4711 and try the first version of the #38c3 Terminal Office (make sure to disable local echo/linefeed conversion stuff).
If you have socat available you can use basically any common terminal emulator with this command: socat stdio,raw,echo=0,echoctl=0 tcp-connect:office.c3post.de:4711
See next posts for telnet/netcat instructions.
lol. @certbund has just notified us that operating a telnet service is insecure. Kind of funny for a project that intentionally operates ancient networking protocols and systems (like C3BBS) as a museum ;) - Not a complaint, just ironic in this specific case.. #retronetworking @c3isdn
Wer mal in einem alten Telekom-Katalog blättern will: https://archive.org/details/telekom_katalog_1994_1995 - mit Xitel, Delegatic, Euro-ISDN, Datex-J, Cityruf, C-Netz, ISDN-Adapter für Parallel-Port, u.v.m. #retronetworking #ISDN #Telekom
In case you didn't notice yet: #38C3 will have an actual 1990s circuit switched ISDN telephone exchange (Siemens EWSD) providing wired POTS and ISDN services on-site: https://youtu.be/qIpDiiJTZTA?feature=shared #retronetworking #ccc2024 #ccc #isdn
#38C3 Service Announcement: There will be #ISDN and analog telephony at the event. Now is still time to find your old ISDN and/or modem/fax/telephony gear in the attic[ or obtain something on eBay] to bring and connect to the network. #retronetworking #ccc
I'll briefly be visiting #Taipei from October 24th through 28th - if anyone from my #linux #foss #retrocomputing #retronetworking or #gsm #3gpp #cellular network bubbles wants to meet up - please do reach out!
Teardown of a 1989 USRobotics Courier HST #Modem: https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/US_Robotics_Courier_HST - when modem still had discrete DSPs and ADCs, prior to Rockwell + other chipsets... #retronetworking
One of my more recent #retronetworking acquisitions: A Siemens DFG9600-UE1. This is a customer-premises equipment for attaching to the former German CSPDN (Circuit Switched Public Data Network) called Datex-L: https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/Siemens_DFG-9600UE-1
TIL: The second "A" in the name of the historical French telecom supplier ALCATEL actually stands for atomique (nuclear): "Société Alsacienne de Constructions Atomiques, de Télécommunications et d'Électronique" #retronetworking

CompilerFax: Sending C source code via telefax to a compiler-as-a-service which then faxes you the output of your program; demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ-25-pRhpY git: https://github.com/lexbailey/compilerfax intended for #emfcamp #retronetworking #whatagreathack
Just before the end of the Osmocom Developer Conference 2024 we managed to demo a GSM Fax transmission using osmo-{trx,bts,bsc,mgw,msc,stp} as network:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfDxGZlmnH4 - Thanks to @fixeria for his work and @manawyrm for recoding #osmocom #retronetworking
I just received an invoice from ITU
(International Telecommunications Union). Their letterhead states a TELETEX number (in 2024!). I love it. #retronetworking - now I seriously wonder how I might be able to get connected to a public network that can reach it.
one of the more fascinating #ISDN video phones I've seen: https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/7e_Communications_(Motionmedia)_Talking_Head_VideoReporter #retronetworking - thanks to WIMPy for sharing!
Is there anyone among my followers from #croatia who would be willing to buy a retro ISDN phone on aukcije.hr and send it to me in Gemany? Just a phone, nothing large/heavy. #retronetworking #followerpower
