@jjhuang 你一定會喜歡 😄

@jwildeboer I had no idea that’s how you spelled those sounds. 😹

@jwildeboer ...but turning up the volume is the whole reason for watching a video about modems.

I could sleep to this

The slowest data transmission:
One ping only

@jwildeboer Needs 19.2kbps PEP and HST! I still have a Telebit TrailBlazer and a USR Courier V.Everything, if anyone wants to fix this.

@jwildeboer Thank you.

@jwildeboer woo, Tosh Satellite in the wild :)

EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeh* KRRRRRSH

@jwildeboer

@jwildeboer thank you :)

@jwildeboer Never had a 56k modem, so the BOONnng surprised me a bit.

@jwildeboer Great vid - and love the subtitles. As someone who designed modems and wrote dsp code for them in the 80s and 90s, it's a trip down memory land! You could follow the train up process, and tell what was going right or wrong, just by listening...
Also wrote the first single processor V32 modem, on a Motorola 56001 DSP. Lovely chip, at the time!

@jwildeboer

Thank you!!

@jwildeboer I think my journey with #internet at #home started with a used V33 from a friend, I bought then a V90 and then swichted to DSL 1MBit as my parents were pissed that I blocked the #telephone line all the time.

@jwildeboer The 28k8 connect sound lives rent-free in my head.

@jwildeboer oh my stars, what a gift.

@jwildeboer that's amazing, thank you 🤩

@jwildeboer Thank you. This totally made my day.

@jwildeboer cobalt! 🥰

@jwildeboer Oh that was a joy! I dunno why, but I never get tired of listening to modems handshaking. I'm instantly transported back to an internet of wonder and potential. 🙂

@jwildeboer Thank you!

@jwildeboer Now I'm wondering how far text to speech could go when talking to a modem :)

@jwildeboer thank you :)

@jwildeboer

Some of the subtitles were written by @scream

@jwildeboer
Really 28k was fastest true analogue mode.
33K was compression on 28K.
56k was a special mode to suitably equipped digital exchanges with Internet POP interfaces.

@jwildeboer

Oh man, that 56k sonar beep. "Verify our range to target. Two pings only."

@jwildeboer click click bee beeee aargggggggh

@jwildeboer Excellent. Second only to the seal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL9iMPx9CpQ
