Our internet worked differently. If I was connected and someone picked up the phone, the internet wouldn't cut off but the phone would screech that internet sound. Then my mum would scream at me to disconnect so she can call Aunt Marja-Terttu. I'd of course protest, I was in the middle of a match or whatever, she'd had to wait 10 minutes! But no, she had to make the call _NOW_ and the computer was paid by my parents anyway so I should do as I was told.
Ah, good times.

With ours, the phone would make that noise, but if you didn't hang up within like 2 seconds, it would boot you off AOL
