[VoIP] 2600 and N2 Carrier, the end?

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,
Glad to hear it's been picked up.  Would have hated to see this stuff go to
the landfills.
So does this mean a complete working system has been salvaged?  I don't
exactly know how or why, but somehow I feel that a copy of the recordings we
all made on the 1306/7 line should be kept at the museum, with maybe a way
for visitors to call up and hear them or something.  It's just that this N2
system is the very system people were calling into to say their last
goodbyes to the technology and suchlike.
Jayson.
