I do!  We had some good math groups back in the old days, late 80s.  We had dial-up modems.  I heard that distinctive dial-up modem sound just yesterday.  I thought NO WAY, you gotta be KIDDING, someone still has one of those?  I looked around and found some joker had set that sound as his ringtone.  {8^D

Ah yes... memories of connecting to BBSes using my acoustic 300bps modem.
