So the usual suspects from both CDL and VCF have been upgrading the network at Camp Evans. As noted by Jeff B, we extended single-mode fiber to 9032 and have the access points and a 48 port PoE switch staged to deploy. Question for the folks that will be exhibiting in or using 9032A for VCF East: Will anyone need telephone lines (analog / ISDN) or wired Internet connections during VCF East in the big room? Knowing ahead of time will let us prioritize the work better Martin Flynn
If there was wired Ethernet providing general Internet access, I would use it. If not, I bodge something together with my phone and my Mac like we’ve done the past couple years. — Jameel Akari

Would people be interested in a PBX exhibit? I have a large Comdial pbx, with computer voicemail / auto attendant, which I could hook up to and show how call flow and system programming work... Would this be on the PSTN, or C*Net? Do you have the ability to hand off a PRI? And finally, is this something people would find interesting? This is a bit new for a VCF, circa 1997. -J On Sat, Jan 29, 2022 at 7:47 PM Jameel Akari via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Hi Jason - I would find this interesting. I have a couple of old Televantage computer based PBX’s - who I believe were made by the same folks who owned Comdial (Artisoft / Vertical).

I’d also find it interesting. A PBX like this is definitely not contemporary business telephony - it’s pretty vintage if you actually use it. I have a AT&T Merlin Legend which is well past vintage age. I’d haul it down for VCF East if you wanted to try and figure out trunking (has at least one ISDN port and I have a T1 line card too.) Mostly it exists to ring our stylish vintage telephone collection. :) -- Jameel Akari

I loved the Merlin Legend. Ran one in our geek house, got it cheap because Lucent tried to scam people on the y2k thing to boost sales. Loved those black phones with the LCD, and the giant secretary phone sitting in the kitchen. Paging the whole house. Audix was so cool too. I still have hard drives, some floppies for one of the systems and maybe a 2nd. and cards from the MAP-40. Is there an archive for all this type of stuff? I remember this other system... ASPEN, the Automated Speach Exchance Network. I remember in the old days when phreaking and codelines were a thing they were often on the ASPEN voice systems. - Ethan On Sun, 30 Jan 2022, Jameel akari via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
