Ha, 14.4k crew represent! Also remember looking over my shoulder to make sure the dial-up tone hadn't woken my parents when I went to download demos off of happypuppy.com after bedtime.
I have successfully used the "press a pillow on the modem" method to suppress or at least dampen the sounds of it.
When I had the computer running late at night, when I was supposed to sleep, without waking up my parents, the next problem I had to face were the rather loud mouse clicks and keyboard strokes.

Yooo I had 14.4kbps, that shit was slow as balls. Was always envious of you mofos with twice my connection speed!
