Retronetworking

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":https://libera.chat/ - If you don't know much about "IRC":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC, feel free to use the provided "webchat":https://web.libera.chat/ interface

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/

Alternatively, there is also the Forum built into this redmine, see the "Forum" button in the title bar above.
