We had hopes for the future and internet connections made sounds.
Not if you disabled the sound so you could sneakily get online at night without your parents noticing! I was so happy when I figured that out and could quit nervously smothering the modem in pillows when connecting.
I don't know if that always worked. I didn't figure it out until we were on a 56k modem. Maybe it didn't work with older modems.
ATL0 I think.
I did not know you could do that! My trick was to connect while parents were hussy, then distracting them from the phone the whole evening.
I miss having hope.
I wonder if the Internet would still make sounds if the communication devices were connected to speakers
