LaF0rge<p>I recently briefly heard about the Indian rural telephone exchanges (RAX), which appear to go back all the way to electromechanical switches. They (C-DOT) even built a V5.2 Access Network called AN-RAX.

@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.

@vwestlife #Funfact: In #Europe, #Cband dishes weren't common so #SatelliteInternet used simiar #Tuner cards with #VSAT terminals, oftentimes acceptibg downlinks from regular commercial #TV #satellites...

  • Later they got some fancy "SAT-Routers" that combina a #DVB-S downlonk and an #analog/ISDN modem for uplink if not iffered to use #2G #mobile networks as well...

I've got one of those...

And yes, I used that to share a #dialup connection with multiple devices, because they can do that!

Some adventures installing @openwrt@lemdro.id
@openwrt@lemmy.world on a #Google #WiFi "puck" (AC-1304)

If you follow the directions between the links: openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi
and the updated details in this thread
forum.openwrt.org/t/finally-in
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
openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/ne
and the video at
youtube.com/watch?v=Bfmx5NjIWL.

There have been *so many* great responses, and thank you everyone for contributing! I got some great new #telephony, #RetroNetworking, and #HomeLab contacts and tags to follow, including the formerly-elusive #OtherNetworks tag!

I know that one of the things that people do on enthusiast retro phone networks is hold 'test calls' to other 'subscribers,' with increasingly esoteric equipment.

Is there an in-group term for these 'test calls' that's analagous to QSOs in the #HamRadio world?

@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!
