Weird Modem sound, can someone identify what it is please?

The sound I am trying to identify is:
Sound (56kilobytes)

It was found on 1800 555 630 in Australia, it sounds like modem noise generated from a TTY source. If anyone can help, it would be great.

It's coming from your modem? Maybe someone is trying to call in while you are online? It sounds like the phone is ringing.

Best way to find out is by hooking a modem up to it and trying to connect.

Or at least make a modem recording of the signal, instead of the sound.

Over a modem connection more then just audible sound is sent ya know.


An explination as to what there is supposed to be on that phone number could help clarify it too.

We aren't sure of what it is, it happens when you dial the number on the phone, so I guess that its a remote connection for TTY or modem.

That's an ADSL/Broadband signal (not compatible with 56Kb).

How would I connect to that signal to test the data stream?

Wrong fellas it actually a Fax Modem querying me.

WOW, thanks for the detailed info. You get a vote from me.

May I ask how you got the information?

Please don't say Google, or I'd be so annoyed at myself.
