*Pfft!* I would have been happy with a monitor!
We used to do this trick with the acoustic coupler modem where we would whistle into the phone (at 4,800 Hz if I recall correctly) and it would then connect at 300 BAUD instead of only 110!
For those that just don't realize how good they have it now, at 300 BAUD, it would literally take over a YEAR to download the 20 GB Windows 10 install file! ?
