Panasonic KX-TA308 PABX, a Shiva LanRover/E Plus, and an iMac G3 Indigo being used to demonstrate modem dial-up speeds and sounds. Unfortunately it was quite noisy at the time, otherwise I would have grabbed a video with sound of "dialling up".

@mirabilos Was definitely ATDT. I remember attack-dialling to get onto a busy BBS with ATDP and... it was sooooo painful. 😭

@cefiar

I have the Sharp-branded version of one of the pocket computers (or a close relative). I put in a battery recently and it still powers up. Unfortunately, I have no way to move data between it and another computer.
