56k modem starting sleeping dial-in server and accepting incoming call

[@Korstre]

Dial-up modems are a very important part of computer history, but often don't receive enough coverage due to the inevitable abandonment of landline, so thanks for doing your part in preserving another detail of the experience!

[@deluxeddelirium]

The cable broadband wave came much sooner than landline abandonment. Landline internet transitioned to DSL which is still used today for many subscribers

[@enterwebs2604]

woah! different dial up sound!

[@itepk0522]

Not all is the same

feeling nostalgic of something i've never known

[@sofiaflorina]

That is anemoia

[@Modrih]

Hey! Many years I dreamed to conduct such a test. Tell me you're using a public line? Where did you get the line signal from? Do you connect two modems directly to each other? what about the subscriber line signal?

[@elevation2667]

Modrih I have two telephone lines. I connected two modems with each other, it was only possible because Windows 2000, or was it 98? I dont remember - had the function to let an other computer dial in. I started the connection with an Windows Vista laptop and was interested in what would happen.

[@Nico93]

i forgot to ask also, is it the modem makeing the small noises in the start?

[@elevation2667]

Nico 93 Yes. It "rings" to signalisate the incoming call. At the same time it starts the computer.

[@Nico93]

The modem sure is makeing some noticeble clicks.

[@elevation2667]

Nicolaj Larsen Ah, the clicks, yes ist does! I think it‘s a relais in it.
