Dial Up Connections on Linux

In this tutorial we will detail how to connect two linux hosts via 56k modems. To do this we will use the following components:

Two Raspberry Pi's 4 ($35-$55 / each)
Two Conexant 56k Modems ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RZTJC0/ | $17-$20 / each)
a RJ-11 splitter( https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Duplex-line-Telephone-Adapter/dp/B07WNDZT6Y | $8-$12)
A Linksys SPA-2102 ( search ebay for linksys SPA-2102 on ebay | $18-$25 )
Two RJ-11 cables ( should come with the modems )

How to install virtualenv:

Install pip first

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Then install virtualenv using pip3

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

	This module provides a function ``make_except_hook`` which returns a function
	usable as replacement for ``sys.excepthook``.

	All imports are done dynamically to make this function a self-contained,
	copy/pasteable piece of code.

	Requires the "blessings" module to work!
