What was your first modem? Mine was a 300 baud #VICMODEM for my #Commodore #VIC20 which included a type in terminal program in BASIC. You had to manually dial the number with the phone, unplug the coil cable from the handset, and plug it into the modem! #RetroComputing #VintageComputing (Edit: added missing space after VIC20 tag)

@paulrickards I built my first 300/300 1200/75 modem from a kit. I then built a circuit with a relay for auto dialing (pulse dial). All plugged into a C64. (This allowed me to write and run a simple little BBS) - much fun!
