I do kinda miss that modem connect tone though... nostalgically.
Waiting for a “free” 1 megabyte exe file to download from GEnie over an acoustic coupler, not so much.
I recall some dorm neighbors coming by to my dorm to marvel at my 1200 baud modem my on campus job loaned me (along with a DEC rainbow 100) to monitor a vax II from my room late at night.;)
