Dial-up over VoIP service ISP

Annotation: Telecommunications laboratory (telco lab) is the next step in the old hardware collection’s further usage and analysis. About 10+ various [mainly U.S.Robotics (USR) branded] voice 56kbit (fax)modems for dial-up Internet connection had been collected. This article gives a Prove of Concept (PoC) to the modem-modem link establishment over the VoIP RTP stream with aim to build a dial-in ISP service. Various VoIP technology’s underlying parameters, and modem configurations had been tuned with batch dial-up connection testing being executed, and then commented....

monkeVPN

monkeVPN is a simple wireguard project for intersted one to securely browse the web. In detail, one connects to one given endpoint making all traffic between encrypted. This allows one to securely serf the waves on the Internet even when connected to the public transportation hotspot with tens of people lurking for some bandwidth too. As WiFi signal is broadcasted in all ways around the antennae, it is very simple to capture any unencrypted data floating around....

dish (formerly savla-dish)

motivation This story of dish starts in the year 2016. I was developing my first “mature” Information System (based on sakalWeb IS 4). Out of blue I got an idea about how to monitor other services, and how cool it would be to see green a red labels jumping around to signalize service’s last status. The latter version (around 2018) was mostly inspired by Zabbix interface. I just wanted a list of services, their last status, amount of time after last test....
