- Hmmm... I'd be willing to try that - just to keep our results synchronized,
- what tune were you whistling, and at about what tempo? Did you drum on the
- modem to add percussion, or just whistle? Also, would singing (instead of
- whistling) be more, or less, likely to confuse the modem, due to the
- dissimilarity that exists between singing and modem tones, as compared to
- the similarity between whistling and modem tones? ;)
