Do you remember the days when we had dialup and we'd either get a no carrier or we'd send one to a twit to drop carrier? I believe it was F5 or something like that. Those were great times way back then.

Depends on the BBS software. But that reminds me, I used to use IceChat to chat with users on my old BBS in the 90s, and IceChat had a feature where it could simulate line noise - When you pressed that hotkey, it would output a few random ASCII characters in a random place on the screen. Then you or the user would say there must be some line noise and hang up.

Yeah I remember those days. The ice software that Jeremy Landvoigt created was of very high quality.

Well then.. Source or it doesn't mean anything. I'm going to assume it's not true for now.
