that is a very impressive set of hardware! #futel would be proud. i have a bunch of questions, especially about some of the terminals there. very cool. 🤓
aside: i was involved with the (sony brand) webtv, kinda tangentially, when it was shipping.
There are both old dial-up and touch-tone payphones. And RandTel even offers 3-way calling via the old "hook flash" method. Pepperidge Farm remembers!
Old payphones get new life, thanks to Vermont engineer 📞
Patrick Schlott fixes up and installs old payphones in Vermont communities where people need to place calls—after making a key modification to remove the need for coins.

@codinghorror Hmm, this could be a good candidate for #futel
☎️ I feel bad for only now getting around to reading my spring 2600, but it was nice to see an article about #Futel.
If you are coming to #PDX for #FOSSY you might want to try one out.
Tonight’s plan: reading some of the old zines I’ve accumulated. First up: Futel’s party line # 7.
I think I’m going to find an updated service map and plan a bike ride that stops at all their public phones in Portland. (If anyone get me into the private one let me know.)
