I've got a lead on some four-wire and X.25 ("frame relay"?) stuff from
University and just yesterday I got my second ADSL modem. What would it take to set up or
"simulate" their counterpart (DSLAM?) at home?
Hi Arno,
I've got some X.25 equipment which needs a good home. I have two Satelcom switches,
two Dec DEMSB routers and two 4-wire NTUs ("baseband modems?") plus a few
cables
and manuals. The switches power up and can be configured from a console terminal
but have problems retaining their configuration over a power off. This is probably
due to a problem with the internal PCB mounted batteries which I have had to
replace previously. One of them has a push-on connector from the power supply
replaced by a soldered connection where the connector had overheated. The NTUs
also power up and appear to work. I haven't tried the DEMSBs.
Normally the NTUs are clocked from the telephone exchange end but it is possible to
change the links in one to get it to generate a clock internally so that the two can
talk to each other over a 4 wire crossover cable. At least, I can get all the LEDS
to illuminate. I don't know enough about X.25 etc to get any further than that.
Let me know if you are interested. However, I am located in Dublin, Ireland so I
am not sure how it would be possible to get the stuff to you if you do want it.
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
