It's probably related to the fact that people being in the one place all the
time is hilariously rare, and portable solutions that provide secure MFA don't
have all the interoperability and other downsides.
There's probably five "desk phones" in my entire organisation, and they're VOIP
I'm kind of surprised there isn't more of this, people building their own 2

or authentication services. I'd kind of assumed the obstacle being
negotiating SMPP telco access, leaving it to Google & Microsoft and a few
others who have the market clout to actually get access.
It's super drole
I did something similar at home a couple of years ago, using some Cisco
routers, a bunch of BRI/PRI VIC/VWIC/NM modules and an NM-30DM. I got good

You're lucky to get over v22bis with VoIP these days, I couldnt get my
old USRbotics V.Everthing to train above 2400 baud over an EnGin service

The only fax service ive seen work with any degree of reliability was

I probably should take this off list, BUT, some people may not be
aware of how much better Asterisk is these days!
Asterisk USED to rely on interrupt-driven timing, which was - when you
had a real timing source - super reliable. However, when you DIDN'T
have timing, you had to fudge it, and there
Hey Rob,
I still have a lucent max tnt packed with 480 modems, and 16 x e1s.
Probably have a max 6000 as well, and a 4000 for nostalgia.
I’ve seen some isdn to sip devices around that might be the way to go for an e1
interface. You need a digital interface to get over v34.
Cheers,

Ours all went to scrap years ago. I wonder if I have a copy of the old
tftp image that it loads off. Not sure I even remember the name for it.
PS. you have to much time on your hands.
PSS what are you going to use for an E1 as Asterisk and a zap card ? I
very much doubt v34 will make it
I know of at least two big banks of 56k modems being used as telemetry data
platforms for remote sites ... we had to get custom serial cables made for the
interfaces because the things they talk to are ~30 years old and still going
strong.

Hi,
I wonder how many Cisco AS5200's (probably the most popular 56K Access
Server) are lying around gathering dust? They're probably way beyond even
being used as a door stop. An ACC/Ericsson Tigris would be another option,
or Lucent MAX TNT Access Server.
Who has modems left anymore?
