When we had the 110 baud modem where you put the phone handset into the modem cradle, we kept a baby's squeaky hammer around, and would occasionally whack the handset with the hammer. That would transmit about 20 characters of nonsense. This reminds me of that.

Brings back memories. I have been programming computers since 1962 (!), and in one of my jobs I had to test a data transmission app called "Kermit". I remember using a handset modem (I forget whether this one was 110 or 300 baud), and I would tap on the handset with a pen or pencil to generate noise and see how well Kermit was able to recover from the errors.
