It seems as they cram in more information they they start sounding more like pure white noise.. Which would make sense; pure white noise is the waveform which contains the most information according to information theory.

3. All the way. That is the sound I associate with modems.

animegurl1000 - 2020-11-24 During a hard rain or wind (the latter of which occurred a majority of the year where I grew up) my modem would connect with the 3 sound and any websites more complex than text or simple GIFs took an eternity to load. Hearing that fucking sound again triggered a lot of bad memories.

jfcaron_ca - 2020-11-24 I recognize the sequence that is present in 3, 4, and 5, but based on the dates I probably heard #4. Modems would know to mute certain parts of the sound once they figured out they were connected, so I don't think I ever heard all of #4.

I was whelped by a Hayes Smartmodem, 300 baud, which would probably survive a nuclear wear. Once I got my 2400 baud "bunnymodem" and a separate phone line, my BBS was called Acid Cafe. I hadn't yet managed to crest the programming learning curve, so it was vanilla WWIV (plus some doors, e.g. Food Fight). A kind user mailed a 14.4k modem to me from across the country a while later. Thems were the daze.

simon666 - 2020-11-24 Your BBS sounds familiar, though that could be a figment of my imagination. I had some list of 408 area code bbs's, but never spent much time on them.
I used to run a hotline server in the 90s, warezing mac software. Ah those were the days.
