In a way over simplified explanation, most modems these days (dial up
for sure) transmit a series of tones all the time spaced fairly
closely together. These tones are twisted and shifted to allow each
one to carry multiple bit patterns. Thus a spectrum view would
typically show a "lump" of signals running all the time.
