It hurts my ears  

 Music to mine 🐸🤠 

 It's giving me anxiety about waking my parents up 

 Yeah but once I am connected I can do this...

 A beautiful cacophony 

 😂 

 Good memories 

 😂🫂🫂🫂🔥 

 The struggle was real 

 you can still get dial up service from sdf.org ☎️ 
not sure why youd want it, but still fun. 

 84 bucks a year sign me up! 

 Mom, hang up! I’m playing UO!

 You mean, we are old :P 

 load "*",8,1 

 I will never forget Compuserve 

 ₿leeeeeeeeeeeeep

₿looooooooooooooooop

Grrrlrlrrrrrrrrlllrrrrrlllrrrrrrrrrrrrr 

 I am still hear 14.4 dial up modem squelch. 

1GB HD desktop. 

The university Doom nerds were losing their minds 

 Someone picked up the other line and now I got to start the process all over again. 

 That sound...
 

 holy shit, what a time! 

 Those who can’t … let em learn  

 My brain keeps hearing 2400 baud. The 56k handshake was dissonant and terrible, even if the speed was better. 

 Atdt if I recall correctly  

 The realist pain ever. I always needed at least a few attempts.. 

 28.8kbps 

 A simpler age… as long as no one picked up a phone receiver while your real-player wasn’t in the middle of buffering 

 Beeeeep… krrrrrrrrrrshhh… ksh ksh ksh…
Deeeeeeeeee-doo-weeee-ooooo… screeeech-bzzzz…
Ka-ksh ka-ksh… bee-beep-beeeeeeeep… krrrrrrrrshhh!

That unmistakable blend of static bursts, rising whistles, and jagged screeches, as if two machines were fighting just to shake hands 🦾 

 I miss that sound. 

 Straight out of an horror movie 

 Maaa, dont pick up the phone!!! 

 ISDN with Link Aggregation in europe with 128 kbit/s
didn't make any sounds though. 

 Loud and clear! https://media.tenor.com/kHjDl-ynJVgAAAAC/oldman-old.gif 

 Oh, bad flashback... 

 I did dial-up tech support for too long. That sound is burned into by brain. 

 🤣  

 ahh yes. the original dubstep. 

 You mean: biiiiiiii... biru biru biru biru.... biiiii..... ? 

 Right on.  https://v.nostr.build/YZMgCIw495nIjMrE.mp4 

 1995 here we come :D 

 I dialed in to BBS’s on a C64 using a 1200 baud modem. 

 One of my earliest memories is using my gradfathers dial-up computer back in the mid-90s.
