First of all, you need a modem which is of the 'autodial' class (the
1650 is one example).  The rest of the info here assumes a PULSE dial
system like the 1650/compatibles use.

In the user's handbook (or is it the programmer's handbook?) is a memory
map of the C64...up in the 50000+ addresses is a set that pertains to
the RS232 port...to pick up the phone, poke the first address (sorry I
don't remember which one it is...52636?...up there somewhere anyway)
with a 32 (I think...either that or 0...one picks up the phone, the
other hangs up the phone).  To dial, just quickly hangup/pickup the
correct # of times (on my modem you can hear the clicks, so it is easy
to adjust the timing to what sounds just like a dial phone.  

Sorry none of this is precision advice, but if you can get a look at the
manual, it isn't too hard to figure.  (feel free to email me to complain
or ask for more info...I will take the time to look it up if necessary)
