Is anyone able to lay their hands on a firmware image for a Samsung Ubigate IBG1004?

It’s an #isdn to #sip #telephone gateway, and the one I’ve got seems to be corrupt and won’t decompress.

My usual haunts for firmware images are coming up blank.

The filename will be something like `iBG1004_Advanced_1.6.1.9.Z` - but I'm really not too fussy about the version number!

Please boost if you think you have followers that can help!

@vwestlife #Funfact: In #Europe, #Cband dishes weren't common so #SatelliteInternet used simiar #Tuner cards with #VSAT terminals, usually accepting downlinks from regular commercial #TV #satellites that were just data channels on #ASTRA and/or #Eutelsat #HotBird in the #KuBand...

  • Later they got some fancy "SAT-Routers" that combines a #DVB-S downlink and an #analog #56k / #ISDN modem for uplink if not offered to use #2G #mobile networks as well...

I've got one of those:

Basically a #Router with some #Linux on Ethernet, Power & F-Screw-Connector on the rear, #56k& #ISDN #Modem|s and USB up-front.

  • And yes, I used that to share a #dialup connection with multiple devices, because they can do that!

Also I wounder if the folks at @GrapheneOS and other #custom #Firmware (#CFW) #developers are aware of the fact that #Australia basically is going to #ban them...

  • Or at least #Telstra in their infinite wisdom of doing things differently...

Seriously, #VoLTE is a #shitshow worse than #ISDN in the #USA!

One of the really striking things about the #SunMicrosystems #VisionQuest entries is how bullish many of them were on #ISDN (digital telephony service). Many SPARCstations had ISDN hardware, but the software was a shit-show because Telcos and their suppliers had no interest in actually supporting standards instead of proprietary protocols. (Except maybe Germany and Japan) ISDN - It Still Does Nothing

@wilhelm_arcturus Ah, fond memories. Actually got a serial terminal adapter back then ... which capped out at 115,200 bit/s on the PC-side, so the channel-bonding experiment was over before it started (and until I got an #ISDN-card).

ISDN was kinda popular in Germany at least with businesses due to the two lines; can't remember if #BBS used them much.

Latest #retronetworking acquisition: One of the first commercially available #ISDN video telephones (this unit built in 1992, but I think the model is available 2-3 years longer). Apparently the "Telekom Bildtel 001" was built around a LOEWE MultiTel TV10 BTX terminal, plus an AEG/OLYMPIA codec unit and a TV camera.
