[cisco-voip] ode to 6608

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

We had a DT24 here for a while.

I couldn't conceptualize it when the guys asked me for an old PC motherboard, no CHIP, no O/S no nothing, just power.

Then the acronym PSA came forth.... ;)

  that is a mixed bag.  IF you got the 6608 to work (registration, c6k backplane issues, echo) then it was set it and forget it.  However, there was terrible serviceability to help get it working or figure out why it broke.

  On the sentimental road, I always had a soft spot for the dt-24+.  True, it could be a bit fickle about getting a DHCP address occasionally, but otherwise it was the first Cisco product to offer 24 or 32 msec ecan, well before it was available in 6608 or IOS.  It was also TRIVIAL to configure.  Back in the day it was heresy to recommend a PC board over a Cisco box, but it worked when IOS/6608 folks could not fathom why anyone would truly need more that 16msec of ecan coverage.

    many, we got spoiled with the 6608.

    those things were great

    8 ports which can be used for T1 or Conferencing or Transcoding and conferences could be up to 32 participant. and the ports could be registered to different clusters.

    now we're looking at replacing them with 3845s, what a let down.

    max 8 conference participants, and if your using MGCP (long live MGCP!), you can only register ports to one cluster.

    anyone else miss the 6608?
