Can you still dialup to AOL? I miss the modem sounds when it was connecting :(

And when someone picked up the phone when you were in the middle of downloading something and you were all like "GOD DAMNIT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS I WAS ALMOST DONE DOWNLOADING THAT 10MB REALPLAYER MOVIE FILE" ???

That's odd. That didn't happen to me with DSL and in fact that was one of the main selling points for DSL at the time. Were the DSL filters properly installed? ?

No idea! They may not have been. I was a child when it was installed, if it didn't come with the house.
