North American Modem Sounds

Folks who have played with the virtual 'modem' have probably noticed that it has a bit of a European slant. 
For those that came of age in North America, I've used a number of sources to produce an accurate sound set for every known modem type and US (7-digit speed dial) touch tones and ring tone:
Place them in \\mister\fat\SOUNDS, then add this to \\mister\fat\linux\MidiLink.INI:
In the main/unlabeled section:
Code: Select all
TCP_SOUND_DIAL = /media/fat/SOUNDS/dial.wav
TCP_SOUND_RING = /media/fat/SOUNDS/ring.wav
In [AO486]:
Code: Select all
TCP_SOUND_CONNECT = /media/fat/SOUNDS/connect_v32.wav
In [C64]:
Code: Select all
TCP_SOUND_CONNECT = /media/fat/SOUNDS/connect_v22.wav
Adjust as desired.

Any European slant is purely coincidental as I am from the USA.
The tones are generated from the IP address digits for the host in code. I authored the code using this as my reference -->
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone ... _signaling.
I have never used any sort of sound analyzer to test the accuracy of the tones, so it might be an inaccurate emulation.
While the canned dialing might be more realistic in a movie prop situation, it won't reflect the actual IP of what is getting dialed and a dynamic situation.
Anyway,
Is the C64 "modem" still working for you folks? I can no longer get it to work after the 9600BPS update... if so what terminal works?
Thanks

@hbond007 It was the dial tone or ring (I don't recall which anymore) that was European, not the DTMP itself

I just connected to enterprisebbs.ddns.net:1701 using
ccgms ultimate.d64 @9600 bps.
No issues.

I recreated those from memory and my memory is also not perfect
