I’m old enough to remember most of these, we got our first computer when I was three (1987) and we had modems that did most of these speeds. 56k blew my mind back in the day when I was still like 10 using BBS to share files. Really fun times

Most modems from the mid '90s and later can support a wider range, going up to V.34 @ 33.6k easily, and most also can go as low as 300bps.

This does bring back memories! The 2400baud sound I don't really remember as I didn't use it that much but the 28800 is very familiar. I had a sound card/modem combo that could use either 28800 + no sound or 14400 + sound. It sure was annoying when we were playing warcraft 1 and I had to use my slow speed... After that came ISDN, but where might be the sounds for that?
@lAMNOTGOOMBA7 жыл бұрын
Good question, actually. I've never used an ISDN connection (Does it make a sound? I have no idea), and it never really caught on in North America since ADSL came out soon afterwards and was orders of magnitude faster

the D in ISDN is from Digital, there is no sound when negotiating and negotiation happens in under a second or so

At the store where I work we have a very ancient handheld ordering machine that submits orders over dialup using an external 19.2kbps modem. If I recall correctly, the handshake sequence on it sounds basically the same as 14.4, but slightly longer.

What is most memorable to me was the sound of the relay clicking on a pulse dial 300 baud modem. After timing out on any busy system, it took too long to get back online thanks to the pulse dialing and I could lose my slot for hours. Also remember us friends calling each other just to have an idle modem answer the call and we would whistle back to the modem in hope that it would silence itself so we could scream over the modem speaker to switch over to the phone.
@brentfisher9022 жыл бұрын
In the days of phone phreaking, some numbers that you called that would not go through/gave a busy signal were "talkable", meaning if 2 distant phones called that number at the exactly same time...they could talk to each other...

There was an illusive true 72.5 kilobaud modem that was prototyped and used very sparsely between testers. I saw one. It was amazing for the time. But it was said that it could cause troubles with the telephone company and was never put into full production. It was much faster than the Kflex the x56 modems. I wanted to take that modem home so badly. But it would have only been able to go full speed with using it with another 72.5 modem. The housing of the modem became very hot when being used, yet it had no fan onboard.

I have a 14.4k modem with a very slightly different training sequence (I am using Comcast's VoIP, which is very good in my experience, as I was able to get 33.6k connections on it, so I don't think that's causing differences). I actually recorded it (using a microphone on my phone, so it sounds crappy). It's a P.C.Logic branded modem, but I'm too lazy to find out which chipset it uses.

Also...if you were to use M2 while connected at 300 BPS and record the modem speaker with a recorder's microphone next to it...you would be able to get a good enough resulting recording to be able to find out the characters being sent...300 baud will work over barbed wire...

In v.90/92, there is an extra manufacturer defined training sequence at the end. I used a Conexant modem which makes the stuttering crescendo. Sounds like your modem had a Texas Instruments chipset. Here's a recording for comparison: clyp.it/4jlernqp
