I don't know why I'm so excited to have a fully functional landline phone system in the house, complete with wired and wireless phones, local extensions for each room, voicemail boxes, bidirectional connection with the intercom system, and inbound and outbound dialing. Complete phone nerdery over here, someone should probably stop me.-
@aaronpk Too Late. I am already thinking this is going to be the next live stream. 😎

@aaronpk When we got fiber internet the phone company tried to get us to switch from copper wire to VOIP and we were like "haha, you mean a phone that doesn't work if the power goes out? lol no." so the technician had to argue with the office for like an hour, but we still have it.

@aaronpk I have a FreePBX instance in my homelab for no better reason.
It has three extensions which are old VOIP phones I got for free when our business wound up, and one extension with a 1970s rotary dial phone via an ATA.
The grandchildren LOVE talking to each other from one end of the house to the other, particularly the mysterious rotary dial.
I've been porting my friend's landlines as free incoming trunks because they only attract spam calls nowadays and almost nobody uses them any more. Calls get redirected to my phone so I can mess with spammers, but after two rings they go to Lenny, a canned response robot, so he can mess them for me.
Fun.

@aaronpk I'm intrigued and would like to learn more

@aaronpk Exciting! What are you doing for inbound call filtering?

@aaronpk At the 38c3 (a German hacker event at the end of last year), there was ISDN powered by an old EWSD [1].
Many people brought their DECT phones, just like every year. There were even analog phones. I only used SIP on my smartphone.
