  I believe that part was doing a sound quality test to ensure the data rate could be reached. If the line quality was bad it would connect at a slower rate since it was based on frequency.

    Yup, and whether the modem on the other side was able to reach the same data rate as well.

        V.34 is the one burned into my memory. I hear plenty of BIPs but nothing I would consider a BWOP

  It’s a specific 56K protocol. There were a few different types of 56K modems and they did the last part of the handshake differently. One did the “boing boing” and another common one had more of an ascending tone at the end of the handshake.

  You can hear the boing boing one at the end (1m54s) of that example www.youtube.com/watch?v=xalTFH5ht-k
