[AusNOG] Anyone have any ancient Bay 5000/5399's lying around?

[James Hodgkinson]

It's probably related to the fact that people being in the one place all the time is hilariously rare, and portable solutions that provide secure MFA don't have all the interoperability and other downsides.

There's probably five "desk phones" in my entire organisation, and they're VOIP teleconference systems.
