My first modem was 110 baud acoustic coupler modem that I got from military surplus. I couldn't afford the modem Commodore sold for the VIC-20, so I figured out how to wire this thing in.

I didn't really do all that much with it, because not too much later I got a better job so upgraded to a Laser whatever clone of the Apple//c and a 1200 baud modem.
