  • EDIT: November 2020 wow this really blew up over the years. I have made a direct download available here freesound.org/people/wtermini... enjoy
    Also back in 2012 a wonderful poster was made by Oona Räisänen www.windytan.com/2012/11/the-s...
    --------------------------
    I was bored so I wanted to see if I could get free dial-up internet so I found that NetZero still has free service so I put in the number and heard the glorious sound of the Dial-up. Remind me of years gone. Unfortunately, I was not able to make a connection.

    I was born in 1995, and I think we had dial up Internet until 2005.
    Brings back a lot of memories of downloading music using file sharing on WinMX, anyone remember that? It used to take a couple of hours to download an album!
    Many memories of my mum telling me to get off the Internet so she could use the phone!
    I also remember finding out that if you picked up the phone at the right moment while the dial up connection was in progress, you could speak through the phone, and your voice would come through the computer speakers! Along with a lot of feedback.
    I remember when we finally got broadband, I found it mind blowing that you could use the landline phone and be on the Internet at the same time, and the difference in speed was amazing.

      I thought it wouldn't matter if she picked up the phone, doesn't it prioritise the internet connection?
      I was also born in 95. Even up to around 2007/2008 I remember this. For a short time after we moved out to a rural area around that year, we did try switching to it when we were in the middle of switching to a new service provider. Didn't last long.
      A friend down the road had it too. Once when I visited their house and needed to call my parents later to ask if I could stay longer, I heard this noise instead of the dial tone and thought it was super weird and interesting.

    *What The Sounds Mean:*
    0:00-0:05: Dial tone and modem dialing number (basically the modem automatically dials the number of the ISP ex: AOL)
    0:06-0:07: MPS and ITM configuration between calling and receiving modem (essentially both modems listing their capabilities and specifications to each other.)
    0:07-0:09: (FSK) (Frequency shift keying) data communication between the modems in order to agree on a mode of communication (the calling modem lists its protocols, location, manufacturer, etc. and then the receiving modem acknowledges the connection and suggests a protocol then the calling modem responds to the acknowledgment)
    0:10-0:11: (FSK) transmission between modems: Receiving modem disabling echo suppression (echo suppression is in place in order to prevent feedback when a human talks on the phone but it will mess with data being transmitted on dial-up, therefore it is disabled)
    0:11-0:13: (FSK) transmission between modems: Receiving modem lists its available modulation modes (repeated 6 times) and then calling modem responds with its available modulation protocols (repeated 3 times) (all this is: is both of the modems explaining their capabilities to each other in regards of how that data is actually transmitted)
    0:13 1st half:(DPSK) both modems explain their transmission rates, transmission power, and their clock source (essentially both modems figure out how fast they can transmit data)
    0:13 2nd half - 0:14 1st half(the sound that sounds more like a buzzer): Both modems send and receive probing signals (basically each modem tests how the other sounds over the telephone wires as telephone wires vary on a person-to-person basis)
    0:14 2nd half: (DPSK) both modems communicate how they sounded over the telephone lines and they communicate what different frequencies, symbol rates, offsets, transmission power, and whether or not they heard each other properly so that they can use full-duplex communication (both modems essentially reconvene after the probing tests and explain caveats between them and if they heard each other well enough)
    0:15-0:17: receiving modem transmits random data over the lines so that the calling modem can see how the receiving modem sounds over the lines
    0:17-0:21: calling modem transmits random data over the lines so that the receiving modem can see how the calling modem sounds over the lines
    0:21-0:23: Both modems transmit data at the same time so that they can see how they sound when they are both talking at the same time
    0:23: Connection between modems successfully established!
    0:24-0:26: data being transmitted and received over the internet by the computer connected to the modem
    0:26: Receiving modem disables speaker

      The first parts of it are using older encoding schemes that were used for lower data rates before the 56K standard that this is using came out. From memory that initial carrier was used for 9600bps .That's bits per second (kind of), I could literally read text as it came in at that speed, only just though. It was such a leap up from the 1200bps modem I had before then. Downloading a page of plain text would actually take a noticeable length of time with that.
      Many older things didn't need more than 9600bps and that was the maximum speed guaranteed by the telecom provider in my country. Also for 56K you needed special digital modems that connected to the carrier over T1/E1 links on at least one end of the connection. The best you could do consumer to consumer was 33.6Kbps at least initially.
