If you’ve been around for long enough then this sound will bring back memories.
If you still hear the sound every day then you have my sympathies!

56k? Lucky you. I had the pleasure of a 14.4 starting out before leaping forward to a 33.6 Those were the days though. :)
The noise still gives me butterflies in my stomach :)
What’s with this modern 56k? Try 700 baud :)
Classic.. I could sing it to you its engraved in my psyche!

I was loving my ~14 too…it was awesome…”them where the days! these youngsters nowadays dont know how hard it was back in the day for us…with our continual dialup tones and random disconnections” :-P
The USR x2 – I remember that… But I did join my friend before when he was using a acoustic coupler…
Hmm time to google BBS’s that are still live.
makes me remember “inductive acoustic couplers” – which doesn’t make much sense, either they’re acoustic, or inductive. And Hayes commands.

Prestel at 1200/75 from a BBC model B. Access to “MUD” (no need to specify which, just “MUD”) for a surcharge (£1/hr, if I remember rightly).
