Playing Diablo 2 with Dial-up internet was probably the lowest form of masochism I could have subjected myself to.

I remember that vividly... my parent's always hated how I took up the phone line and incoming calls couldn't get through. Eventually they got me a cable connection. So it worked out rather well.

The only thing worse then remembering that is someone who went out of his way to recording it.

I remember that sound very clearly, having heard it as recently as a year ago. :|

My brother (who resides in South Africa) was still struggling with a dial-up connection in late 2009, until I dragged him---kicking and screaming---into the 21st century by forcing him to upgrade to DSL.

I swear, if I hadn't flown all the way from the US to South Africa for a Christmas visit and installed a DSL connection while I was there, my brother would STILL be using dial-up!

Reminds me of playing Terris and other MUD's hehe, was so eager to get on and play and my fingers crossed at the dial-up connecting, they were fragile things constantly having connection problems.

Yes, of course I remember that sound. It brings me back to my younger/horrid days of using the atrocity one calls AOL.

Those were the horrible days...thank god I had two phone lines back then so I wouldn't get kicked off. Then I got the cable internet. Good. I do have a friend with...sort of dial-up now, it just doesn't make that noise. But the moment the phone starts ringing...Internet be frozen homey. That's what I always said until I realized that the phone was the problem.

When I finally got broadband I remember being amazed that webpages would pop up instantly without waiting to connect online. I'm enjoying my internet again because I just switched from DSL to cable and it's sooooo much faster.

lol in those days we were happy to be online in the first place. We didn't give a crap about speed, since there was either that or nothing. Now I rage when something takes a couple of seconds more than it's supposed to.:P We were the only one in our street back then with a different phone line for our modem, we felt so advanced haha.

Ahhhh! That brings back good memories! Mostly because I had a terrible ISP and shocking 26.4k modem, so even getting that sound was glorious because it meant I had finally established a connection.

Oh yes indeed I do! I remember that beginning from way back in ye olde BBS days in which only one person at a time could be on a board and you generally had a time limit to be there.
