Not as angry as my sister who kept wanted to use the phone for something she called a "phonecall" and disliked the modem screech in her ear. Until she realised she could make my modem disconnect by picking the phone up a few times.

LOL!! Fortunately I never crunched until after I was married and had kids, in fact one of my sons friends turned me on to Seti and the rest as they say is history!! I did use dial-up modems when I was single but I was living alone so it wasn't a problem.
I used two modems and strapped them together with some clever program so I had 112kbps! Two phonecalls at once on two lines, but at that time there were 0800 (freephone) numbers. Replaced that with a huge satellite dish that got me 256kbps. Eventually sold it to someone going off to Africa to do research so he could get internet in the middle of nowhere.

Now that's a setup that was pretty clever
