h1. Retronetworking 

 Welcome to the retronetworking project.    This project aims at collecting information about old, now mostly defunct (and hence _retro_) networking technologies. Back from the days where not everything was Ethernet, and when there was a plethora of LAN, MAN and WAN technologies around. 

 This is very much a work-in-progress, started by @laforge with his collection of related equipment and the work to put it all into operation. Contributions are extremely welcome. 

 We're using this _redmine_ project management system as it provides a way to collaboritively share information in this wiki, as well as the issue tracker to keep track of tasks. 

 h2. Child Projects 

 Some topics have a sufficiently independent scope so that it made sense to create redmine sub-projects for those. Each has its own wiki and issue tracker. 

 |_.Name|_.Description| 
 |[[bbs-revival:]]|Dial-up to BBSs via analog modems and ISDN| 
 |[[octoi:]]|Osmocom TDM over IP| 

 h2. IRC Chat 

 We have started a #retronetworking channel on libera.chat. 

 h2. Mailing List 

 We now have a public "mailing list":https://lists.retronetworking.org/postorius/lists/discussion.lists.retronetworking.org/ for discussion among interested parties. The list has a public "archive":https://discussion.retronetworking.org/hyperkitty/list/octoi@lists.retronetworking.org/
