Ahhh, the sound of a dial-up modem. I think I still have headaches from the collection of sounds used. I remember putting tape on the modem speaker to muffle the sound.
The only memory I have is leaving the PC on all night just to download a 10MB file.
I learned the modem command to turn the sound down/off so I wouldn't get caught being up till 5 in the morning downloading/surfing.
As for being online, was on local bbs's from 1993 until I started using aol in 1995 or so, actually started paying for internet access in 1997.
