[AusNOG] ISDN shutdown 31 May 2022

[Greg Henderson]

First they came for the telex, and I did not speak out as I didn’t have a telex.
Then they came for the modems, and I did not speak out because I didn’t have a modem.
Then they came for me because, apparently, not having a telex or modem is a crime?

… or something like that.

I saw Steve Baxter set a Netcomm modem rack on fire at one of his legendary Senet barbecues. Although it was well deserved; given the amount of toxic black smoke that followed I would not recommend this course of action.

Unrelated to the ISDN Issue below:

I feel that this almost declares the end of the era of analogue modem calls. Wonder if Russell can help with the last 56k modem call, at least, on Telstra’s network?

Should be recorded for posterity and to make sure analogue modems finally die and can be all buried in landfill after being set on fire.

There are lots of good middle ground alternatives though to move them between a half Analogue and Digital world but they're going to have to get cracking ☹
