People still have modems???
- celly 10y agoHoly Smokes! I Loved ToneLoc. I use to leave it running for days at a time hidden in my closet. I can still hear the clicks from the modem, as it cycled thru numbers hours after hours. I stopped using it after realizing all the misconfigured PBX's in my area were usually car dealerships. P.s. I just bought a modem not too long ago. I use it to read CallerID and try to determine if a call if friendly, or a robocall. It doesn't click tho. :( I miss the click.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoThank you. I had a lot of fun with that as a teenager (and got into some trouble too). ;-)
- jlgaddis 10y agoWow, thanks. I have many memories of using ToneLoc as a misguided youth. :)
- brndn 10y agoFascinating story. Is it true that it got you banned from the Internet? That's cruel.
- clamprecht 10y agoIt's true, I wasn't allowed to use the Internet (or any computer network) from 2000-2002.
