!!Connecting makes funny noises!!

Hey, everytime I try and get online I have to use dial up. (long story) anyways when i try and get on, it starts to dial...and it starts off fine, but then theres this really loud noise and it just goes on. Loud, long beep sound. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

I think that's the modem handshaking (talking to the modem on the other side) making the sounds.  I imagine they stop after a minute and you can happily surf.  Good ol dialup.
