Modem noises

In my job I frequen tly have to "hot desk". This alters
whether or not I need to have a 9 prefixing my numbers on
the modem dial outs. Occassionally I miss one when changing
it back which (aside from stopping the call from working)
causes the modem "noise" to ring reception. I can hear the
receptionists talking to (and confused by) this horrible
noise. The modem is slow to cancel so the receptionist
usually hangs up first.

Talk about "IDM" in the workplace...

I remember this 'indy' track by a very unknown group called
'The Pod' (so unknown and rare not even I have their CD) It
sampled a modem dialing at the end on the song and in the
video he was huddled up in a corner crying away from a
phone. "I'm scared of phones.... I cant stand, modern
things. Oh... push me on the swings, push me on the swings."
Cool track and I only reminded of this thru this topic.

telephones are activated by tones right?. What if you made a
track, that if you hooked it to a telephone, called the
artist....

That'd be cool!

My mate's radioshow has a competition where listeners ring
in an "talk" to the modem for as long as possible without i
crashing :)

hehehe, i've got this thing on my phone in my room called a
Telephone pickup,
handy piece of electronics it is...

it sticks to the back of the headset and picks up your phone
conversation from the earpiece...
its sticks on by a sucktion cap.

That'd be awesome, someone should try nannou ( that's the
song with the face in it right?) and see what happens.

sounds like the name of an experimental electronic artist
that you'd get in wire magazine:

modern modem.

I've sampled modem sounds but never really used it much.
Anyone know of software that can be used to generate similar
to modem sounds?
