I’m running 3cx on a Raspberry PI 3B+ as my home PBX but you can use Asterisk as well. Linksys adaptor sitting in my main 42U rack with a USR Robotics modem connected to Extension 05 Configuring the PBX These come with a simple (but unsecured) web interface (they default to 192.168.0.5 as their IP address) which you can use to configure them.Īs I had two of them I’ve setup one in my home office & the other in my main rack. These provide 2 POTS ports to connect old phones, fax machines & modems & a 100Mb ethernet port. I managed to get my hands on a pair of Linksys PAP2T’s for £1.20 in an eBay auction (that’s for both not each, with postage total was £9.20!). These are available online with prices ranging from £30 up, depending on where you look. VoIP POTS adaptorsįirst we need some way to connect the modems to the network. So, let’s see if we can get something working. However if you read online, most people say it’s either not possible or would be painfully slow. Most people don’t have a land line anymore, nor are there many BBS’s online that are connected to the old phone system, so the only option is using VoIP to connect them. US Robotics 56K modem we will use to dial in with
Now these days we have WiFi modems available which emulate a dial-up modem & then connect to a bulletin board (they do still exist) over the internet.īut that’s too clean & modern so how about using an old modem? So to do that I wanted to setup a pair of modem’s so that we can reproduce an old dial-up experience. Recently I’ve been doing a lot of Retro computing, mostly with the BBC Master 128 last year & this year I’m going to be doing more with other older systems ranging from a Commodore 64 that’s ready to be worked on to operating systems like CP/M & Bulletin Boards (BBS).Īs I’m intending on doing some videos later on how bulletin boards were accessed in the old pre-Internet days.
