I need a proper name for my #isp2go project. Right now, isp2go is just an internal codename. Please drop your fancy name ideas in the comments - I’m happy about every suggestion. Later, I’ll run a poll with the most-favourited ones.

 Boosts appreciated!

TL;DR: It’s a portable ISP in a 19" rack on wheels, e.g. for nerdy events. It still needs a real ISP for upstream, but it’s made for quick infrastructure setup and a bit of retroness (having your own DSL network is kinda cool, right?).

It includes a DSLAM (DSL broadband with your favourite modem), a PBX for local analog and VoIP telephony, a 48-port 10G switch, and a server. The server handles the firewall (PPPoE server, #cghmn VPN, routing stuff), hosting some on-site HTTP services like a customer dashboard (as you probably know from your own real ISP), and more.

A 56k dial-up service is also planned! (ISDN too, if I can get the provider side compact enough.)

@morihofi huh, apparently mastodon messed up, or the post got re-created, in either case:

isPortable, because it is portable :p

@morihofi My immediate idea is MVI (Minimum Viable ISP)

But I also thought of "minISP" (pronounced mini SP)

Idk I'm terrible with names

@morihofi I really tried but all I could come up with is:

- awooLAN: another way out of LAN
- ConBox: ConnectionBox, CongressBox, ConventionBox, this one is pretty flexible

I am not good at naming things (typical engineer problem)
@morihofi My very first, very one-braincell idea was Telcowo, potentially stylized as TelcOwO :3c
@morihofi Inital idea: Cube ISP, but that one is kind of close to some proprietary stuff, so what about Cute ISP?
