The reason that the modem is attached to a speaker is so you can tell if your connection is fucked up. I did this a lot until 2008 when I got road-runner internet. I managed to build client web-pages on a crazy super-speed of 41.2 kbps. If the sound wasn't attached to the speaker, when it failed to connect, I would have no fucking clue what was wrong.
Aww the good old days *_*, win95 was my first computer i used back in the days, I missed that old maze screen saver too (remind me of a game call "Doom" on "msdos"), and that annoying dial-up sound even on 98' when play dos games as well, pattern was a tip' for me @_@...
It was a pretty decent video, but then near the end where you just went on about other shit and started swearing, then the video became awesome. Good stuff.
Off topic but Win 95 related. The funniest trick I remember is you can close the start button and make it go away. Click on the start button, then go alt-spacebar, then click close. Bye bye start button. The only way to get it back is to reboot.This only works on Windows 95 LOL
The reason that they had the modem connection sound routed through the speakers was that the modems often did not handle exception conditions well at all. Often you would get a bad connection and the modem would sit there for minutes trying to train to the other modem. In those situations, it was good to be able to hear the constant attempt to train and cancel the connection attempt. Also, it was good to hear the connection attempt if someone else was on the line talking or using a modem.
6:42 That was my favorite as a kid too, I'd just sit there and stare at it for hours... Even customize it and then watch it again and again. Wish I could find it and get it to run on Vista...
We used to do something similar around 95-97 i think. You could send packets to NT and it would blue screen, after the blue screen it would recover but internet would not work. We used this when the public terminals at the library was full. Poeple would leave as soon as "mIRC" stopped working. I know, its a shit thing to do. But it was fun then
At least people who try to make a batch file should Disguise the batch icon with another like Internet Explorer icon so when the person clicks on it than it starts the batch.When I stated to write test virus batch files in the day I used to always disguise it as the Browser icon.
Hey, great information, and thank god there's still someone out here who knows what he's talking about, anyways, my friend has a website, but i want to like, crash it, just for fun, do you think you can help me out?
I tried the C program you showed, but my Win95 didn't crash! What version of Win95 are you running? My is version B...probably in this version the bug has been fixed
Yes, the sound of the modem is annoying but it helped me be aware and prevent malicious dialer programmes from dialing numbers that I didn't even wanted that charged 10 dollars or more per minute. Also, the sound could be disabled in the hardware manager settings.
ROFL, swear the christ i was trying not to piss my self with the rant at the end, your totaly right, Shit man, even XP for me took 9 days to shutdown. xD
please help? i am looking to own up a popular website co.... (wireclub) ...ugh. i want to do this because it has come to my attention that the moderators bully kids. :( . ping of death obv wont work but ive dl net tools, so far no success, i tried cracking admin with kane, no success, i heard there was a way to capture info off of the page that deletes accounts & comile it to a url that will just delete a mods account. i dont kno where to start but ive had a go. any ideas would be apreciated?
Lol, that "It's now safe to turn off your computer.". I remember I always was scared by that message as child and turned the PC off like there was no tomorrow...
Great video!!! I just wish my computer science instructor would've had this style of talking with that "in-your-face" verbal attitude while I'm listening to the Beastie Boys', "You Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party" on my portable Sony CD Walkman. I remember sitting there in front of my 50 lb fat-ass CRT monitor dazed and mesmerized watching that psychedelic 3-D Maze after hitting a few joints ("hitting a few joints" as in going to a dance club and enjoying my favorite beverage, ok?)

Rather stupid rants, "it would take like 5minuts to download 5Mib"
Modem was 56Kibit thats 5Kib/second. 5*60 = 300kb/minute.
The current tech level cant be blamed on AOL..
The reason to hear the modem was simply to hear if there was anything on the other line. It was part of the technology.
