Interesting modem MAC ancillary
Went back to no computer software affiliations or a standalone
hardware telephone device. The device is for dedicated telephone service, to be used in conjunction with an ISP modem. The modem's one Ethernet out is routed into the device, and from the device looped back into the computer's Ethernet jack. An in-between device. A better-class, but same brand modem, was recently destroyed and replaced with the ISP's less expensive "rental" model. A software blacklist filter subsequently reported blocking "bogons", at a rate by and sometimes several for a single second. The telephone device subsequently filtered them out and stopped the logged reports I was getting for "bogon" blocks;- there still are some remaining, but that is by a significant magnitude fewer, perhaps 95 or 98% fewer reports. Looking forward, getting reacquainted with the concept that software may be constraint, depending on and whether limitations are inherent to a design purpose. For instance Microsoft Skype telephony has undergone revision changes before to disallow former operating systems, as now and again, apparently in early stage to favor an end Windows 10 software dependency. I prefer to forgo having that constraint from an independent service and its device, quite literally and without consequent momentary significance -- of course ISP's still effectively are still able to heavily penalize a broader populace at rates on a heritage of TELCOs -- that needn't have a computer running to independently initiate vocal contact at some token minority of costs and fees. Of course communication is as a field a broader field-overlap now than from former copper landlines, although I still see no reason not to use a telephone discretionarily without being tied to Windows 10 and the newest Skype revisions, Ver. 8.xx, implemented earlier last month. MSFT really does have such horrible quarterly earnings in an affiliated PC sector, and derives all effective significance from revenues with its enterprise affiliates. |
