Voice/Data/FAX Communications Going Next Level!
From POTS to VOIP
Both POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) and VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocols) have as their primary function to serve people's voice communication needs. However where you can get voice comms you can also get a data stream to send files and messages thorough. We are very lucky as there is an uncompressed VOIP protocol that uses an uncompressed stream. This means that, theoretically, you can get the same speeds as old-school dial-up speeds through a VOIP modem, often connecting at 48.8 kbps using the 56k v.90 and v.92 communications protocols. It is currently not possible to connect at the full 57.3 (56k) speeds because one end of that modem transaction needs to be fully digital to handle that, such as an ISDN line (Integrated Services Digital Network). ISDNs have two channels of 64 kbps throughput, so if you really know what you're doing you could lease an ISDN line and host two 56k dial-ins from the one ISDN connection. But back to POTS and VOIP, these technologies are exceptionally cool, allowing comms in times of war, natural disaster, or other horrific and unforeseen events when the Internet infrastructure is under attack or a catastrophe of some sort. For an average person with a POTS or VOIP line you can expect, under optimal conditions to get 48.8 kbps. On less than optimal lines, such as my own, I can easily get 19.2 kbps, but I use it for messaging and not transferring files so it works for me. My setup is rather sweet: I have an external 56k v.90 and v.92 modem by US Robotics that I connect into my Ubuntu/Linux box via an DTECH FTDI USB to Serial cable. The cable is expensive at around $30 CAD from Amazon but it is really quite cool, lighting up with different colours to indicate whether the device is primarily sending or receiving data at the moment. If I want 28.8 kbps to 33.6 kbps speeds I can bring a Ubuntu/Linux box downstairs and hook it right into the house's POTS connection. FAXes also work over both POTS and VOIP connections. That POTS works with FAXes is a given, as its obvious, but working over VOIP isn't that expected, but with an uncompressed VOIP line you can treat it as any old school POTS connection. It works quite well, surprisingly indeed. I use the GrandStream HT802 VOIP ATA (Analog Telephone Adaptor) for the hardware, and VOIP.ms as my service provider, who by the way has amazing ratesβthe best out there.
FAX Modems
Most modems that you can easily purchase now-a-days can also communicate with FAX protocols, that allow you to both send and receive FAXes from your modem. If you are receiving FAXes then this is a much better option than using a dedicated FAX machine. I have actually received advertisements on my old FAX machine that would give information about various retailers, home repair people, and un-requested garbage. Using a FAX modem with the appropriate software you can have your FAX modem save the FAXes in some sort of format that allows you to pick and choose what you want and what you don't want. It saves on printer paper and is far less annoying.
Signing up With VOIP.ms With a Nod to bbsday.org
VOIP.ms offers us some free service in return for advertising their offerings. Their offerings are being advertised to you not for the fact that we get money back from sending you to our affiliate link, but rather that we totally believe in this company for providing unsurpassed quality, reliability, and having very low phone rates. You can call anywhere in Canada and the USA for about one cent per minute. Residential and business options are available. Residential costs a flat rate of about $7 USD, while Business use is a per-minute offering at 0.09 cents per minute. Our affiliate link will be posted below this text shortly. You will need to buy an ATA (Analog Telephone Adaptor) to use VOIP.ms' services, which cost about $50 USD for the hardware and built-in software. If you are looking to reduce your phone bill drastically with a small initial investment then this solution may work well for you.
Recommendations
My recommended setup is exactly what I have right now which work perfectly for me. I'll post the name of the item with the Amazon link beside it, and will use the American Amazon.com system as there are more people in the USA than Canada, so it would be more relevant to most people.
The USB-to-Serial Cable:
https://www.amazon.com/DTECH-RS232-Serial-Supports-Windows/dp/B01J1HWLMM/
The US Robotics External v.90 v.92 POTS serial modem:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006HXM0/
The extremely high quality telephone cable (RJ-11):
https://www.amazon.com/C2G-28721-High-Speed-Internet-Meters/dp/B000083JZ0/
VOIP.ms Phone Service: (Select G.711 Uncompressed Audio for the codec)
https://www.voip.ms
Ubuntu GNU/Linux:
https://www.ubuntu.com
The two cables go for a good price on Amazon, however the USR modems can be found at a large discount from eBay.com, even a third or a quarter of the price of one from Amazon, so its good to shop around. -

YOU BUMPED THE WRONG THREAD FUCK UUUUYYUUU AND FUCK CANDY REIN !!!! I'm GONNA SEND HER GHOST To SUPER HELL AKA THE SHADOW REALM WHERE PEOPLE FROM HELL GO WHEN THEY "GO TO HECK"
Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove
that Peruvians are underpaid, a position you base solely on the fact
that YOU are underpaid, and you'll be damned if you're going to let a
bunch of Peruvians be better off. DON'T say: "I think Peruvians are
underpaid." Say instead: "The average Peruvian's salary in 1981
dollars adjusted for the revised tax base is $1,452.81 per annum,
which is $836.07 before the mean gross poverty level."
NOTE: Always make up exact figures.
If an opponent asks you where you got your information, make THAT up
too. Say: "This information comes from Dr. Hovel T. Moon's study for
the Buford Commission published on May 9, 1982. Didn't you read it?"
Say this in the same tone of voice you would use to say, "You left
your soiled underwear in my bathroom."
* Use meaningless but weighty-sounding words and phrases.
Memorize this list:
Let me put it this way
In terms of
Vis-a-vis
Per se
As it were
Qua
So to speak
You should also memorize some Latin abbreviations such as "Q.E.D.",
"e.g.", and "i.e." These are all short for "I speak Latin, and you
don't."
Here's how to use these words and phrases. Suppose you want to say,
"Peruvians would like to order appetizers more often, but they don't
have enough money."
You never win arguments talking like that. But you WILL win if you
say, "Let me put it this way. In terms of appetizers vis-a-vis
Peruvians qua Peruvians, they would like to order them more often, so
to speak, but they do not have enough money per se, as it were. Q.E.D."
Only a fool would challenge that statement.
* Use snappy and irrelevant comebacks.
You need an arsenal of all-purpose irrelevant phrases to fire back at
your opponents when they make valid points. The best are:
You're begging the question.
You're being defensive.
Don't compare apples to oranges.
What are your parameters?
This last one is especially valuable. Nobody (other than engineers and
policy wonks) has the vaguest idea what "parameters" means.
Here's how to use your comebacks:
You say: As Abraham Lincoln said in 1873...
Your opponent says: Lincoln died in 1865.
You say: You're begging the question.
You say: Liberians, like most Asians...
Your opponent says: Liberia is in Africa.
You say: You're being defensive.
* Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously
right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say,
"That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say," or
"You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
So that's it. You now know how to out-argue anybody. Do not try to
pull any of this on people who generally carry weapons.
Rules of this echo:
* Nothing can be off-topic in this echo since there
is no topic. However, if there is a far more *appropriate*
echo for your subject, take your message there.
* Don't take things to seriously.
* If you are intoxicated at any time, you MUST call the
closest NIRVANAnet(tm) BBS and post a message in this
echo AT ONCE, just to let everyone know how great you feel.
* Post the morning after too.
* Remember that if you stay intoxicated, you will never have
a hangover.
* Stay intoxicated. That is, stay intoxicated if you already are
intoxicated, and if you are not already intoxicated, then get
intoxicated! Unless, of course, you don't want to.
* Tri two spel thngs kerectly whin posybell.
* Messages pertaining to, or encouraging, illegal activities,
including, but not limited to, hacking, "phreaking," and software
piracy, are tolerated as long as there isn't something illegal in
them, but really, that stuff is generally too goddamn boring anyway.
* "Flaming" of other participants is discouraged. Please be
tolerant of others' views and opinions, no matter how much they
differ from your own. Unless someone really pisses you off or
something -- then fry'm IN THE FLAME ECHO!
* Real names are discouraged. If, however, you ABSOLUTELY MUST
use your real name, then sign your messages using your handle.
* ANSI graphics prohibited, because they won't get through the
Gateway anyway.
* Unsolicited advertisements of any kind, including BBS
advertisements are boring. This ain't the "want ads" echo.
* Sysops carrying this echo must change the name of the echo
frequently and without warning, otherwise the users might figure
out what is going on.
* If you can't think of anything nice to say, say something confusing.
* Disregard these rules.
In addition, please follow these conventions when posting messages:
* Use English if you can't think of a better language.
* Please use as much foul language as possible.
* When specifying phone numbers, remember that this conference is
broadcast all over the universe, so please include area codes.
* Don't tell someone that they're posting a message in the wrong
area unless you're a NN sysop, otherwise NN will start to
resemble a topic-enforcer hellnet. If the people who provide
the net's workings don't care that a message is off-topic, why
should you?
* Use upper and lower case if your computer is capable of so doing.
Normal usage is easier to read, and using all upper case is
generally considered to be SHOUTING, which, of course, is rude.
However, ultimately, nobody gives a flying fuck.
If anyone is found breaking one or more of the conference rules, punitive
actions will be taken. These can range from a simple warning to, in extreme
cases, branding with a hot iron and heavy flogging.
These rules will be posted once in awhile, maybe.Echo Name : NNSTUFF - General Discussion and Chatting

If you have any additions or changes to these messages, send Taipan
Enigma @ 9:900/0 netmail with your modifications. If you want to
moderate a topic, send netmail.
These subject definition messages will be posted once a month
automatically. The idea is to:
* Help new users figure out what the fuck is going on.
* Give moderators credit where credit is due.
* Give people ideas on what to post and where.
This is the general discussion and chat echo. People can discuss just
about anything they want to in this area.
How to Argue Effectively:
I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an
argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this and
steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect,
they don't even invite me. You too can win arguments. Simply follow
these rules:
* Drink liquor.
Suppose you are at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding
on the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you're
drinking some health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you'll hang
back, afraid to display your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls
your date. But if you drink several large martinis, you'll discover
you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruvian economy. You'll be a WEALTH
of information. You'll argue forcefully, offering searing insights and
possibly upsetting furniture. People will be impressed. Some may leave
the room.
* Make things up.
Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove
that Peruvians are underpaid, a position you base solely on the fact
that YOU are underpaid, and you'll be damned if you're going to let a
bunch of Peruvians be better off. DON'T say: "I think Peruvians are
underpaid." Say instead: "The average Peruvian's salary in 1981
dollars adjusted for the revised tax base is $1,452.81 per annum,

Echo Name : NNSTUFF - General Discussion and Chatting
Moderators : All NIRVANAnet™ Sysops
Last Updated : January 25, 1996
Distribution : NIRVANAnet™
If you have any additions or changes to these messages, send Taipan
Enigma @ 9:900/0 netmail with your modifications. If you want to
moderate a topic, send netmail.
These subject definition messages will be posted once a month
automatically. The idea is to:
* Help new users figure out what the fuck is going on.
* Give moderators credit where credit is due.
* Give people ideas on what to post and where.
This is the general discussion and chat echo. People can discuss just
about anything they want to in this area.
How to Argue Effectively:
I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an
argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this and
steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect,
they don't even invite me. You too can win arguments. Simply follow
these rules:
* Drink liquor.
Suppose you are at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding
on the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you're
drinking some health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you'll hang
back, afraid to display your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls
your date. But if you drink several large martinis, you'll discover
you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruvian economy. You'll be a WEALTH
of information. You'll argue forcefully, offering searing insights and
possibly upsetting furniture. People will be impressed. Some may leave
the room.
* Make things up.
Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove
that Peruvians are underpaid, a position you base solely on the fact
that YOU are underpaid, and you'll be damned if you're going to let a
bunch of Peruvians be better off. DON'T say: "I think Peruvians are
underpaid." Say instead: "The average Peruvian's salary in 1981
dollars adjusted for the revised tax base is $1,452.81 per annum,
which is $836.07 before the mean gross poverty level."
NOTE: Always make up exact figures.
If an opponent asks you where you got your information, make THAT up
too. Say: "This information comes from Dr. Hovel T. Moon's study for
the Buford Commission published on May 9, 1982. Didn't you read it?"
Say this in the same tone of voice you would use to say, "You left
your soiled underwear in my bathroom."
* Use meaningless but weighty-sounding words and phrases.
Memorize this list:
Let me put it this way
In terms of
Vis-a-vis
Per se
As it were
Qua
So to speak
You should also memorize some Latin abbreviations such as "Q.E.D.",
"e.g.", and "i.e." These are all short for "I speak Latin, and you
don't."
Here's how to use these words and phrases. Suppose you want to say,
"Peruvians would like to order appetizers more often, but they don't
have enough money."
You never win arguments talking like that. But you WILL win if you
say, "Let me put it this way. In terms of appetizers vis-a-vis
Peruvians qua Peruvians, they would like to order them more often, so
to speak, but they do not have enough money per se, as it were. Q.E.D."
Only a fool would challenge that statement.
* Use snappy and irrelevant comebacks.
You need an arsenal of all-purpose irrelevant phrases to fire back at
your opponents when they make valid points. The best are:
You're begging the question.
You're being defensive.
Don't compare apples to oranges.
What are your parameters?
This last one is especially valuable. Nobody (other than engineers and
policy wonks) has the vaguest idea what "parameters" means.
Here's how to use your comebacks:
You say: As Abraham Lincoln said in 1873…
Your opponent says: Lincoln died in 1865.
You say: You're begging the question.
You say: Liberians, like most Asians…
Your opponent says: Liberia is in Africa.
You say: You're being defensive.
* Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously
right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say,
"That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say," or
"You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
So that's it. You now know how to out-argue anybody. Do not try to
pull any of this on people who generally carry weapons.
Rules of this echo:
* Nothing can be off-topic in this echo since there
is no topic. However, if there is a far more *appropriate*
echo for your subject, take your message there.
* Don't take things to seriously.
* If you are intoxicated at any time, you MUST call the
closest NIRVANAnet™ BBS and post a message in this
echo AT ONCE, just to let everyone know how great you feel.
* Post the morning after too.
* Remember that if you stay intoxicated, you will never have
a hangover.
* Stay intoxicated. That is, stay intoxicated if you already are
intoxicated, and if you are not already intoxicated, then get
intoxicated! Unless, of course, you don't want to.
* Tri two spel thngs kerectly whin posybell.
* Messages pertaining to, or encouraging, illegal activities,
including, but not limited to, hacking, "phreaking," and software
piracy, are tolerated as long as there isn't something illegal in
them, but really, that stuff is generally too goddamn boring anyway.
* "Flaming" of other participants is discouraged. Please be
tolerant of others' views and opinions, no matter how much they
differ from your own. Unless someone really pisses you off or
something – then fry'm IN THE FLAME ECHO!
* Real names are discouraged. If, however, you ABSOLUTELY MUST
use your real name, then sign your messages using your handle.
* ANSI graphics prohibited, because they won't get through the
Gateway anyway.
* Unsolicited advertisements of any kind, including BBS
advertisements are boring. This ain't the "want ads" echo.
* Sysops carrying this echo must change the name of the echo
frequently and without warning, otherwise the users might figure
out what is going on.
* If you can't think of anything nice to say, say something confusing.
* Disregard these rules.
In addition, please follow these conventions when posting messages:
* Use English if you can't think of a better language.
* Please use as much foul language as possible.
* When specifying phone numbers, remember that this conference is
broadcast all over the universe, so please include area codes.
* Don't tell someone that they're posting a message in the wrong
area unless you're a NN sysop, otherwise NN will start to
resemble a topic-enforcer hellnet. If the people who provide
the net's workings don't care that a message is off-topic, why
should you?
* Use upper and lower case if your computer is capable of so doing.
Normal usage is easier to read, and using all upper case is
generally considered to be SHOUTING, which, of course, is rude.
However, ultimately, nobody gives a flying fuck.
If anyone is found breaking one or more of the conference rules, punitive
actions will be taken. These can range from a simple warning to, in extreme
cases, branding with a hot iron and heavy flogging.
These rules will be posted once in awhile, maybe.
