Damn! I better start brushing up on my modem whistling skills! I used to whistle Hayes 300bps and AppleCat 1200bps handshakes in order to lock open lines when speed dialing. If you timed it right you could 99% of the time secure the dialup line with the real modem when the remote modem cycled the line connection.
