Get a good Hayes compat. modem and an interface to connect it to your Commodore. I recommend the Deluxe RS-232 Interface from Omnitronix. They're located in Seattle. Going this route will save you alot of frustration. -- ...

A hayes would be better, as it can be connected to any computer, but the 1670 is definately a fine modem, and at around $40 in Nova Scotia, it is a very good deal...

the 1670 is a versatile modem but comes in 2 versions. The new one, if memory serves me right, has 4 dip switches; the old one has 3. that 4th switch allows the user to turn of the auto answer mode. I have one of each and leave the 3 dip unplugged so that callers don't get screeched at. For my purposes (simple bbs & unix computer calling), it is adequately hayes compatable. If you buy, watch for the money back option... lou astrix (Lou R.
