You should hear a trailblazer PEP modem connecting... it's half duplex packet based so it went something like:

(other end) dannoodaahh--pff.
(my end) dannoodaaah--pff.

(my end) pfff.
(other end) pffffff.

If you picked up the phone you could actually hear them chirping back and forth to each other.
