(...) IR was, but there were a few issues: a) Fluorescents causing trouble at Lillian. b) Firmware/language differences. c) Reliability of IR d) Complexity of setting up tolerant protocol between two RCXes for IR. e) You'll need some sort of tunnel (...)

(...) Ahh, yes, the glorious art of handshaking. I want to point out that it'd be pretty easy to zap someone you didn't like by sending them some voltage with a hard-wired output-to-input method. :) But I like that one the most, I think. It forces (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I was using a 1200 when 14.4's were the rage. It (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Contrary to what Calum may lead you to believe, I am no expert in the field... but I'll toss my 2 cents in anyway: My bet is that the linecard etc. would survive just dandy. These things are designed to be connected to wires strung along (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) And no one builds to that quality anymore. I'm almost certain on one side of the average CO, there's a wall of nothing but fuse panels for each line...I remember seeing it on a tour of a CO once. (...)

(...) Sad isn't it. (...) I don't think there is a fuse on a linecard, DMS-100 that is. I'll have to dig up the commemorative 100,000th linecard (cast in stylish lucite) paperweight and confirm. Remember that thing? Best dumpster find I ever made. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
