@jwildeboer @timpritlove Modem Dial-Up Sound –> Music

Here’s the dial-up tone of my good old Apple Macintosh Performa 5400/180 (color: black!) being used as a musical instrument! (Modem Sound appears at min:sec ~2:05)

At some point I expected "Rick Ascii" to show up on the screen.

@jwildeboer I've used them all. It's missing the Telebit Trailblazer, proprietary asymmetric 19.2k/2400. I used a pair of them for a few years, one hooked up to a server at work and one in my house. Now they're sitting in a box in a closet somewhere.

@jwildeboer fantastic!

@jwildeboer if this was a blind quiz, I think I would have gotten most of them.

It means I'm both old and a nerd right?

Thanks!! 🤣

@jwildeboer An amazing experience 😂

@jwildeboer It's a shame that Zyxel's 16,800 and 19,200 bps models are missing. I guess I'll never hear them again.

@jwildeboer
@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
