Many lols were had helping mates trying to get their heads around modems when they first got their "internet stuff"

 

They'd call me up, I'd walk them through the stages of setting up the dialup, only to be disconnected before we could finish the conversation because they'd hit "dial"

 

(this was before mobiles were common and used for talking to mates)

Shouldn't you just get a bunch of BEEP BOOP BOOP BEEP BOOP down the line?  Same as a second handset being picked up and someone talking down it at you?

 

I remember having to make landline calls, had friend's numbers memorised and whatnot, even still had a piece of paper printed in my wallet in early uni (2001) for relatives I rarely needed to call hahaha.
