Aaron,

My prediction, You will be "modem whispering" way in the 2020!

I can see an action movie in this, where some old dialup equipment is
controlling a dam and hijackers have rigged it
A 2100hz tone will open the flood gatesŠ.Out of retirements comes Aaron
"modem whisper" Leonard.

The rest writes itself! :)
