by coincidence, the kid (literally about 10yo) who ran a big #bbs near me lived in the same town as me. he made this term program for the #c64 called "phone man" which had all the #phreak boxes. you reminded me of all this just now.. and i see this page about it is still up. i did the graphics on this thing. 😂 memories.
family got me an old #westernelectric style #telephone for father's day! this one has had some real use. local area code and business leasing stickers on the bottom. the top row is recessed a bit so I'm sure it was used heavily with a #pbx at one point or another.
now to find my matching black phone and a couple of #ata devices. would be fun to have another #asterisk instance.
Readers of 2600 might find this fun, interesting, and cute...
old meets new
haven’t made use of the flipper much yet aside from some harmless fun and my new flipper tamagotchi pet.
kinda fun that it comes with a red box app tho
So the @connections crew have gotten a chance to do something Amazing:
