Cross face!

This is why I haven’t been on here much recent…

This week the first VOIP server I built in 2008 suddenly gives up the ghost (probably PSU failure but its near impossible to get spares for kit that old)

I’d planned to deploy a replacement some months ago but had to push that forward (as the whole office goes from 10 VOIP extensions to having to use one analogue phone set in a back room, there isn’t even any mobile signal inside the building!)

This is the new server

took a lot more effort to get to this stage (where the analogue lines are being controlled by the correct drivers) as well as the various VOIP circuits being available [our setup needs both] but at least the OSLEC echo canceller is now bundled as part of the distro. Was really glad to have it starting to handle local on site calls by the end of the afternoon and complete the rest of the setup before midnlight..

IBM still have a copy of the original press release on their website (they kept making the things until 1969 unlike today when hardware becomes obsolete barely a a few years after it is released..)

Many computers from 1980s and 1990s are already collectors items, epecially in German speaking countries as well as DK NO, SE, FI, NL and some areas of UK (restoring them is a popular hobby project especially around winter)

Someone in Denmark was using an early IBM laptop as recently as the mid 2000s (they may well still have it)

Another is in a museum in Sweden

I didn’t realise this portable computer was designed in Scotland! (IBM still have an admin office in Greenock, not sure if they still make anything there any more)
