[AusNOG] GoodBye NBN

[Terry Sweetser (SkyMesh CTO)]

My checklist:

[1] battery back up on NBN UNIV: working fine, many hours of voice 
available during a black-out;
[2] FAX, TTY and ALARM dialers over NBN UNIV: working fine, FAX works 
really nicely on T.38;
[3] VoIP dialer on alarm panel via ethernet port: working fine, only 
need internet to work, aok;
[4] GSM dialer on alarm panel, plain old GPRS: working fine, no need to 
have a landline to the alarm panel.

You want a cordless phone that works in a blackout?
