I used a 33.6 KBPS modem, I forget the make, for a caller ID providing device, hooked up to an old Pentium mini tower running FreeBSD, until very roughly 2008. The modem abruptly stopped working at some point for reasons unknown. The FreeBSD box suddenly stopped working because a bad power supply finally literally smoked the motherboard one morning, inspiring me to get a Mac Mini.

I sure do miss hearing that the first time I ever heard the dial up sound was back in roughly 2000 my Nana bought us a computer at her house It was a Gateway desktop It ran Windows ME and they had AOL dial up so I would hear the dial up and handshake sound and then the famous welcome you've got mail, those were the good days I thought about coding a simple program in ChatGPT that would play the dial-up sound whenever you connect to the Internet on a Windows computer That way we still get the wonderful sound of dial up but the speeds of broadband slash cable satellite

I never heard it when I was a kid until someone was talking about it in high school or something.
