Overview
In this page you can find and listen to some sounds produced by analog POTS modems at different modulations, and bitrates.
The set of sounds was captured using a Creative Modem Blaster V.90 External that has a very bad line equalizer and many times failed to correctly communicate with my other modem, except at very low bitrates.
The phone line is simulated with a DeTeWe ISDN 4 lines Phone Exchange and the modem is always dialling to extension 13.

The answering modem is an old Zoom FaxModem V.34 with a maximum speed of 28.800 bps. It's still going strong after 18 years but nowadays is seldom used as a fax machine together with a HylaFax server.
