paulrickards , 22 days ago to random What was your first modem? Mine was a 300 baud VICMODEM for my Commodore VIC-20 which included a type in terminal program in the user guide. You had to manually dial the number with the phone, unplug the coil cable from the handset when you heard the carrier, and plug it into the modem! #RetroComputing #Commodore #VIC20 #VICModem #Modem #Dialup Page 7 from the VICMODEM manual as follows. The following computer program is for use with the VIC 20. This is a third method of turning your VIC into a terminal. You may type this into the computer and then start it by typing "run", those of you learning to program may find some of the routines interesting! For your convenience, we have provided an explanation of the listing.
