What I would really like to see is the emulation of telephone network over internet so that we could all continue using our old modems and retro computers and setup real BBSs with real (or simulated) modems. We all want to hear the real modem sounds and see the lights flashing.
- j4yav 6y agoThat sounds like a super fun project.
- shrubble 6y agoYou can do modem over voip, however expect 2400bps performance in most cases. I think that I saw a guy who used the Linksys ATA devices for that.

- kyberias 6y agoYes I think that's it!
- kyberias 6y agoWell, no, I have to say I don't understand what was accomplished there.
- UncleSlacky 5y agoMaybe try this? http://podsix.org/articles/pimodem/ http://podsix.org/articles/pimodem/
- kyberias 5y agoNo, that's really not what I mean. I would like everyone to still use their retro computers and retro modems (!). Because no-one has land lines anymore, we would need some devices and software to emulate the land-line and telephone network over the internet (IP-protocol). Probably VoIP stuff. I would like to ATDT9834982 and have that magically connect over the internet to some other guy's retro modem that has registered that number in this virtual telephone network over the internet. His modem would receive the proper ring indication and the BBS would ATA. This should not depend on any telephone operators. If someone wants to use a software modem, that would be fine, but real modems would be the point of this whole thing.
