  • Wide area experimental UUCP network

    From 04dco@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 22 16:32:34 2024
    Has anyone ever done a recreation of an old wide area UUCP network over
    dial-up (VoIP or otherwise)? In my experience a VoIP call using the
    G.711a codec at 64 Kbps uncompressed can establish a 28.8 Kbps PPP link
    (V.34) of questionable reliability, mostly because of jitter and latency
    being caused by the connection between the endpoints. This was attempted
    with a winmodem on one end and a hard modem on the other but pure
    software solutions do exist, see https://github.com/AonCyberLabs/D-Modem

    In addition to a classic SIP call, there exists an ITU-T standard for
    Modem over IP (V.150.1) tough I don't know any free software
    implementations of it. As an idea of how it might work, there is
    commercial software available: https://vocal.com/voip/v-150-1-gateway/

    In essence, something like https://wiki.dn42.us/Home but UUCP instead of TCP/IP+BGP.

    https://www.rhizomatica.org/hermes/ is using UUCP over short wave radio
    to connect indigenous/rural communities in the amazon https://github.com/Rhizomatica/hermes-net is the integration. Not sure
    if you call short-wave radio as "wide area network". I would think it is
