An update

John in Auckland on the north island of New Zealand has been busy over the
last week playing with an IAX softphone (DIAX) set up on his PC and hosted
off my Asterisk box in the UK.

I've seen him trying different recorded services on switches in the UK and
the 'colonies' :-)  I've hear my old EM switch burst into life at odd hours
and when I've checked it has been John in NZ.

Last night I had my first telephone conversation with John.  It seemed odd
as I was chatting to him on Saturday evening whilst it was early Sunday
afternoon with him - they are 13 hours ahead of the UK with their daylight
saving time.

The conversation dropped out once. But once re-established lasted for a
couple of hours. Latency made the call a bit difficult - almost needed to
use 'over' as in two-way radio!.  Little bit of echo about two seconds
later but at quite a low level.

John is now going to get an ATA so that he can be permanently on without
the need for leaving his PC on.

He has a Strowger PABX at home but it is not up and running. It sounds like
a GPO type PABX No 1 as we knew them in the UK.

John started his working life with New Zealand Post Office Telephones and
still works for one of their descendants. He is also involved at a
preserved steam railway where he has a former NZ PO Telephones UAX13
strowger switch similar to those we have on CNET in the UK. Not only did he
acquire the switch but he got the complete building as well !!  The
exchange needs cabling - any volunteers ??  :-)

He also thinks that some other telephone folk in NZ will be interested in
connecting to CNET. - maybe an NZ /411 page one day ? :-)
