I will be providing 24 ports of Analog Telephony from my tent to the immediate vicinity of datenklo D1.

To join in - turn up with a POTS phone (DTMF dialling is preferred - I haven't tested if pulse/loop disconnect dialling works but in theory it should do), and we will run a cable to your tent. A standard install will provide 1M of cable from the boundary of your tent, and a BT 431A type socket. If you have a phone that takes another standard plug for connecting into the network, please bring a converter (or the relevant socket if such a converter doesn't exist).

Phone installs will entail a cable running from "the exchange" (aka my tent) to outside your tent (if a nearby cable/DP doesn't already exist) and a small junction box on a stick installed, each can carry 3 lines, so one for you and two for others nearby. Once a DP is installed, a tail running from the DP with a BT socket on the end will be provided to the boundary of your tent. All you have to do is turn up with a phone. :)

The network is anticipated to be operational from mid-Friday until we get kicked off site on Monday, but this depends on me configuring the kit quickly enough. Access into the network is via a Cisco IAD2432-24FXS, and interconnects into the rest of the Eventphone network via SIP, so you should be able to make calls to/from the GSM and DECT networks. Obviously, no service level is guaranteed whatsoever, and no backup power exists for this equipment.
