My impression after many years working on PDP-11s where this is a way of life is an overlay (new code in memory) has to be loaded to do sound after the modem is running, connected and talking to something. I see the disk activity LED flash, then about 2-3 secs later the terminal bell rings. After that it's much quicker..
