#Telephone set #BritishTelecom 8746 now with replaced 21A microphone insert, working correctly with #Grandstream #HT802 v2 ATA linked to #FreePBX I built on cloud VPS - accepts both #MF (tone) and #LoopDisconnect #dialling (although dialling a full UK mobile number is quite a long process and I had to make sure the timer was at least 4 seconds (or the digits get sent to register before you've dialled any 0 and call fails due to wrong number being sent to #PBX !)

Ring voltage (set to 55V RMS) is strong enough to ring the 4k bell in 8746

So currently this corner of the office looks like its back in 1980s 馃榿

@vfrmedia Hey! That's awesome!! 馃槃
It's been quite some time since I played around with telephony, not counting installing modern stuff and messing with KSUs.
I actually took 2 years of telcom and then never got to use much of it in the end.
A while back I had great fun with a dev board that only had one fxs and on fxo on it along with Asteriisk software. Also, mgetty/vgetty and VDF modems. Lots of good fun.
Our friend @publius has a fun german payphone setup for trade shows too.
