You will enjoy this classic.
It's a lovely image showing the dialup handshake . My first modem was a Hayes 1200 baud. Every modem after seemed to double. The protocols got better too. Bidirectional transfers, wow.

- gorkish 6y agoI once did an IFFT of this very image and listened to it for fun!
- thr0w__4w4y 6y agoMy first modem was a Hayes-brand 300 baud modem. Atari 800 computer. So I'll kindly ask you to get off my lawn, whipper-snapper. (BTW I listen to a lot of ambient / noise / drone music, and a while ago, some artist took those modem sounds, slowed them down, put in some reverb, etc. and it was downright ghostly). It wasn't exactly this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF2v32xCD0Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF2v32xCD0Y but it wasn't too far off.

- dr_kiszonka 6y agoIt gives me the same eerie feeling as listening to number stations.
- Mountain_Skies 6y agoThe fun things about 300 baud was I could pick up the phone and hear the individual keystrokes being sent. I couldn't distinguish what particular character was being sent, unless of course I was the one typing.
