Bluesun has found a neat video of a Dial-up Modem doing its thing in ultra-slow.
If you don’t have awesome speakers on your computer go for the headphones on this one!
REALLY cool!

I don’t know if you ever played Homeworld, but this actually sounds quite a bit like the soundtrack of the Ship Graveyard level.
Freeeeeky.
i was just going to suggest this as an idea. it’s thoroughly creepifying.
About 15 years ago, I had a job working for the Ohio Lottery trying to keep their machines up and running. They were all plugged into dial-up modems, and the demarcation line was the input port to the modem. Lost track of the number of times I’d get sent on a service call, only to find out it was Ma Bell’s Modem that was fubar’d. Then there would be the round-d-round with them saying it’s not THEIR Modem, it must be my machine. One jerk insisted that it was my machines, until I plugged in 4 in a row. Then he decided to test his machine with the same damn test equipment I had, then he said “uh, I guess your right, we’ll have it fixed by next week”. Too bad the State of Ohio placed it’s Lottery Machines on the same level of importance as the State Highway Patrol’s and the National Guard’s Commo Lines. And I learned to carry a pocket voice recorder. Wonder how long he kept his job when the Lottery Director called his boss?
Bottom Line: I hate those things, and they all need to be crushed like old nuke bombs.
I give them some slack as they whisk my FFL to all my distributors.
