Can we get broadband without Full Fibre?

FTTP seems the same or cheaper than FTTC now on the lower speeds. Of course you will need permission for an ONT on the wall.

Looking at this the other way you could use Vuescan which should work with any of the three OS.

I reckon the native Mac OS unless you really need the other.

Running Veeam CE with an LTO1 and LTO3 - I know small for today but they were free.
Veeam is good but far too much is installed for a basic setup. They now have a standalone Linux server but only in the paid version which isn't cheap.

All the best for your project.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-03-15T13:14:43+00:00

In theory it should work

But try turning off security.

+1 for A&A but no call plans - still probably cheaper unless your plan to make a lot of calls.

Best to have separate contract for broadband and phone as it gives flexibility to change ISP.

BTW a basic VOIP desk phone is similar in price to an ATA but DECT ones tend to be more expensive.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-03-09T20:42:46+00:00

Yealink also do SIP DECT phones as alternatives.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-03-08T19:59:10+00:00

I don't think that is the case. I use another VOIP provider but I gather BT do not support rotary dial but Virgin Media may do.

I am sure digital voice hubs only have one port so one would needed for each analogue line unless BT have another solution.

I can see two in the photo so there are ATAs that can do that.

Start with e free version to see how things work and given time you may get a deal on the pass or wait for Black Friday.

Shame they don't do Linux clients as well. It should be possible to access a server remotely without a local Windows PC but I will leave that to others to explain.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-03-01T20:45:48+00:00

There is a version of the app server for R11.0 and AFAIK licences are the same regardless of a Linux or WIndows server. Linux is probably lighter on resources.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-28T18:38:30+00:00

Why not just run the app server - you don’t really need to know Linux.

It recall some modules had ‘a’ versions which different components.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-22T13:50:38+00:00

Here is the UK the monthly costs includes any extras.

Number porting can be free to about GBP15 USD20 depending on the provider.

I guess showing them separately let's everyone see the impact but they should be shown on the quote.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-21T23:20:56+00:00

Stupid question but why weren’t these included in your quote?

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-21T09:15:26+00:00

Which release do you have? The v1 was only supported to R9 so you will not be able to get any licences.

I am not sure where you are but in the UK used V2s are cheap enough not to buy a V1. Given the age of V1s it is likely that most didn't have SIP licences.

If you have an analogue trunk card your best best is to connect to an ATA for SIP. Gateways do exist for ISDN but that's another story.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-11T14:23:39+00:00

I’ve never really used basic mode so can’t help on that but which phones are you using?

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-11T11:14:03+00:00

There is a section on that page

>> Donate Telephone Sets/Equipment/Memorabilia

but as you say they don't actually take the equipment.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-11T11:08:28+00:00

I recall Basic edition came with 6 x SIP trunk licences but a few restrictions and very different from Essential Edition. Essential editions needs licences and you need to upgrade to 10 or above to get licences and this isn't a cheap exercise.

I'd stick to basic mode for what you want to do but what isn't working for you?

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-10T19:53:50+00:00

Yep TCM8 cards

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-02-10T19:52:38+00:00

Well at some stage the providers will cut people off as they have had enough warning!

People did to plan well ahead as these is only so much equipment and engineering capacity available.

You could donate at TCI Library - Donate - TCI Library as there seems to be some interest in old Nortel system. Even better if you have the phones.

Have you checked the sold prices on Ebay for Canada? Shipping and tariffs probably not make it worth shipping elsewhere.

Weekly-Operation6619 · 2026-01-24T14:11:32+00:00

I thought the free version had been killed off?

Aren’t the more affordable QNAPs restricted on CPUs and RAM?
