First of all, I would NOT suggest that you buy a Commodore modem unless
you expect the machine you have now to be your only one forever (very
doubtful). Full-featured 1200 baud Hayes compatible modems can be picked up
for a far cry less than the $150-$200 price that stores will quote you on
the 1670. The one I got has auto-dial, auto-answer, speaker, etc. and
it only cost me $80 new. You can then pick up a Commodore RS-232 to RS-232C
converter for about $40 and still have some money left (not to mention
the money you'll save by not having to buy yourself another modem
in the future).
