... Is that an ADSL splitter at 0:07?

I'm such a nerd that I was able to identify not only the modem speed by the sound, but also tell from the mess appearing on the terminal screen if the RS232 port was set too fast, too slow, or 7E1 instead of 8N1.

That's a 2400 baud modem; for a 14k4, you need the initial ting,ting,ting,ting carrier, and then after the final kssshhhhhh you need to get suddenly louder as the data compression kicks in.

Ah modems - the good old days of 300bps, the magic of getting a dial-tone out of a box by by typing "ATDT", staring with hushed hope at at he "CD CR" LEDs... the thrill of getting the modem to talk to the RS-232 port on the back of your brand new Viglen PC, never mind actually managing to get it to connect to anything... listening to devices negotiate with each other an acceptable speed; "Yes, that *is* 14,400 bits per second", you could confidently say, glancing quickly at the speed LEDs... There is a whole generation who will grow up in the mute landscape of Wi-Fi, never knowing the richness of the experience *before* you would (finally) get the word... "READY".

Oh MODEM sound; I thought you said MODERN. (I still miss the old days of dialup modems and BBSes; the internet for all its greatness isn't as much fun as the early pc days.)

The $5 was for the Trouble With Transporters, according to Patreon billing, which also at that level included the wallpapers.

Vik-Thor Rose

I like it, but did I just pay 5$ for that?
