I was going to ask about what the plans for dialup were. For the museum 3b1 I was going to bring the "final" disk image to the next workshop. One
Evan mentioned this to me when I was at Festivus, and I have a wanted ad on craigslist right now looking for more Lucent Partner hardware. It's a small biz PBX that is more turnkey than it's larger cousin the Merlin Legend. When you connect analog devices to it, everything is a 2 digit extension. And it should be able to do hunt groups, so the BBS server with a modem bank (US Robotics MP/16, MP/8, etc) can be patched to the hunt ports then anything else connected to it can dial by hitting the two digit extension. It boots in a second. No hard drive, no OS problems, it just goes. Asterisk and Channel banks is another solution, less turnkey.
