Added 2024-07-13 19:06:15 +0000 UTCIt... just worked? Literally pasted in the example config from the router's documentation and was immediately able to get an IP. Added a simple NAT config and bam... online. I thought this part would take days!

DSLAM is definitely on the list. hard to come by for the right price though!

2024-07-25 02:24:56 +0000 UTCYou're really turning into a bad example for me. I've LONG wanted to do DSL and Cable ISP in my lab. I've got part of the DSLAM and DOCSIS is future acquisition. You're both prolonging my time to acquire while encouraging me to do so at the same time.

2024-07-18 16:18:41 +0000 UTCLove the new cable broadband video. If you're getting deeper into first-mile access esoterica, I wonder whether you could find any similar vintage Cisco DSL equipment? GPON/XPON are probably too new but I wonder whether EPON prices have fallen into hobbyist territory. They're basically just DOCSIS for light. There's also that really weird EoVDSL thing that they were doing for a while [1]. I get the sense you'd get a kick out of playing with a bizarro-world Catalyst 2950 [2] that has a 25-pair Amphenol plug on the front and connects to little DSL modems on the other end. Happy access adventures :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Reach_Ethernet [2] https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TkxLJ3WxL.jpg

2024-07-13 22:44:17 +0000 UTCit didn't require any MAC configuration on the router, but I believe you can block or change speed settings, IP, etc per MAC address if needed

2024-07-13 20:47:21 +0000 UTCDid you have to supply the MAC addr of the modem?
