Hacking History: Old Crank Telephones Talk Again Thanks to Open Source Tools

A session at OSCON 2011

The first generation of telephones were off-grid, using local batteries and crank generators. The MAG*NET project at Saint Joseph's College developed a method of allowing historic telephones to be used, without modification, to operate on the modern telephone network. Asterisk, openWRT and heyu are Open Source tools under the hood.
