I recorded this many years ago on an iMac G3 in 2008, the sound was recorded using the iMac headphone jack into my desktop PC at the times audio in.

I ended up doing this as my DSL went down for several days and I managed to get netzero working.

I then uploaded the video to Youtube where it has received over 10 Million Views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0

In 2012 a wonderful poster was made by Oona Räisänen, if you want a technical breakdown of what's going on in my audio have a read. http://www.windytan.com/2012/11/the-sound-of-dialup-pictured.html.
