Another Dallas RTC replacement, this time in an Adtran Atlas 550 multipurpose phone switch/router. Unit was losing its config when powered off. Replaced it with a socket and a NOS DS14287, seems to work

Tonight's project, replacing a dead Dallas DS12B887 RTC on a Asus P55TP4N / Pentium socket 7 motherboard with a socket and a DS12887+ from Amazon. Worked first try!

Had a USR Courier HST modem that would not detect dial tone on the "line" jack but would dial when connected to the "phone" jack. Turns out a bad relay was holding the line off-hook even when powered off.
Replaced it, now it dials correctly!

Feel the need to try out a 1995-era bulletin board system (BBS)?
I run TuxedoCat Lounge, accessible with real dial-up modems or Telnet! www.tuxedocatbbs.com for details, suggested clients.
Modems do indeed work over VoIP!

I used one of these when I started my ISP back in the day. Saw one for sale the other day and couldn't resist. Brings me up to two hubs!
