We had one in the departmental computer lab in college. Is was the interface for the printer spool. The printer spool was about the size of two tower PCs and filled with memory boards. It drove the first laser printer I ever saw. I don’t think the spool held more than a page at a time.
 
We have these bad boys at work.

Only reply to the ones you want to reply to and ignore the assholes (except me, of course). BTW, you've been explaining your position very well. I grew up in the same tradition you hold to and you've been spot on in your defense of that tradition.

Man, you guys really do work with some ancient technology! What kind of equipment do you need an old modem for??

MXP2's and DMS10's mostly, but lot of other equipment is dialup as well. Most of it we access at like 300 baud because if you try to go higher you start to get lot of noise. The DMS10's are also accessible via this telnet type application though but the dialup is a good backup if that application is down.

(random pics I found online)

These boxes monitor voltages, temperature etc.

DMS10: (all the ones I've seen are green though)

DMS100 and 200 are all telnet though, at least that's how we access them. I'm sure there are dialup methods to get to them too.

Our DMS100 in our building has an uptime longer than I've been alive. Old tech but super solid. 😛

You joke but snow has been used to keep equipment warm lol. Some sites are just a cabinet on the side of the road, instead of an actual building, so if they get too cold they will shovel snow around it.

Sometimes they get buried by the snow plow too, that's always fun if the tech has to go work on it... We also had a cross box swallowed by a snowblower. Took the whole cabinet clean off the ground, cut all the cables. 😱 Oops. That probably sounded lovely going through the machine.

It's funny hearing these stories from the warm office but I'd hate being the techs that have to go fix this stuff after lol.
 
Over a year later and one still can't touch an RTX 30 series card. 🙁 Nvidia is going to break people of the habit of upgrading unnecessarily.
