I started BBSing on an Atari 400 w/ $300 300baud Hayes modem.
During chat sessions (sysopuser, no multi-line), the fun thing was to type a random character while a bad speller/typist was typing. They'd go for a while, then see "their" mistake, back up, and re-type.
I could whistle a 300baud carrier tone. I couldn't modulate the data into it, however. ;v)
I hated it when people discovered that a ctrl-g in a message would ring the bell. :v(
