Lines: 19 I recently purchased a commodore 64 with a vic-modem. I had hoped to use it partly for working at home over the phone lines instead of dragging a silent 700 home with me. I also work for WEco. and had just purchased a brand new wall phone- touch tone, that worked just fine with the silent 700. I brought home my vic-modem (direct connect) and I couldn't get the remote cpu prompt even tho I got carrier. I tried another wall outlet and the same occurred. I took the processor, software and modem back to the commodore store and it all worked fine with their phone. I couldn't believe that my shiny new western phone was at fault. Finally, I took home my work phone and found out that the problem was with my wall phone. I found a refurbished GTE phone ( which one of my friends has to rewire since it has hardwired and I needed a modular jack ) which is now working just fine. So, if you have modem problems, try a different phone. I was surprised... ricki simon - ihuxl!rs1
