Is anyone able to lay their hands on a firmware image for a Samsung Ubigate IBG1004?

It’s an #isdn to #sip #telephone gateway, and the one I’ve got seems to be corrupt and won’t decompress.

My usual haunts for firmware images are coming up blank.

The filename will be something like `iBG1004_Advanced_1.6.1.9.Z` - but I'm really not too fussy about the version number!

Please boost if you think you have followers that can help!

Dites, j'ai la prise USB C de mon vénérable Oneplus 5T qui commence à me faire peur : les problèmes de mauvais contacts se multiplient.

Vous auriez une idée pour corriger le tir ? J'aimerais éviter de mettre ce téléphone au rebut alors qu'il est parfaitement fonctionnel...

Rotary phones were in use long after that in Canada, and probably other places, but touch-tone was also available. In the late 80s/early 90s I still had a line that would only do pulse dialing, because touch-tone dialing was an add-on charge with the phone company where I lived.

It was a significant amount; just adding touch-tone support increased the monthly bill by almost 10%. Yes, this was a BS charge, because it was just a flag they set on your account. It didn't cost them anything to provide tone dialing. They still do the same thing with caller-ID, so I don't have it. "We don't care. We're the phone company; we don't have to."

At the time, many (perhaps most) phones you could buy had push-button dialing, but there was a switch on the phone to choose pulse or tone dialing. If you set it to pulse, you'd push the 7 button, and then you'd hear 7 clicks, etc.

So kind of "hybrid dialing".

#UK #Standards #money #Phone #BT #Broadband I never cease to be amazed at the poor service from #monopolistic #Telephone #Broadband supplier. Months without a proper service so I change my server. And lo, riding over the horizon comes the bean counter, "ere, you can't do that, you owe us x zillion squid for our appalling service". Well chaps, you can sing for it. Breach of contract is 'tort' & I'll happily keep your penny pinchers busy for years. & a free plug for Zen services 🇩🇪 of course!
