Hi :)
Wow!  I thought the dial-up speeds were around 40 kBytes per second i didn't
realise it was only bits!  Although bytes were smaller back then when dial-up
was the main way that people used to connect.  There is a great sound-file about
halfway down this page btw
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_access Fairly reminiscent of the sound of 
a ZX Spectrum loading something from tape.
Regards from
Tom :)

I believe that's the audio rendition of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) handshaking and 
negotiation.
