You made my day 
At the beginning of my IT career in the 1970s the wiring in the cabinets of the really big computers looked similar, but mostly worse.
ā¦I remember seeing black and white pictures of beautiful girls, smiling into the camera, one hand on the cables of the huge modular in front of them, the other one on their ear, holding a headphone, listening to the beautiful sounds they createdā¦

Thatās the nice version. In the mid nineties, my small ISP had a bunch of Supras hooked up to a couple of Livingston PortManglers for much of its life. Iād love to do a mom-and-pop ISP with modern tech.
Ah yes, writing tck/tk scripts to reconfigure bunches of Livingston Portmastersā¦ perl scripts to auto-generate Radius filesā¦ in retrospect, those were the days!
Back when the Internet was interesting and hadnāt descended into the purely useful.

In my case RADIUS was handled by a graph database I wrote in Scheme and C. I still have that code floating about somewhere; I suspect itās been so long since I looked at Bigloo Scheme internals, Iād not understand much. I also wrote a cybercafe (remember them?) system using much the same tech stack.
