Two machines, one phone line and a very polite argument.
Hello friend,
Every one of us knew that screech and almost none of us knew what it meant. It was not a fault. It was two modems introducing themselves down a phone line, agreeing how fast they could talk and checking that the line was clean enough to try.
What do YOU think?

Dug out my old modem and played the handshake to the whole house. Everyone came to the door. Magnificent.
