content: The Commodore modem/300 model 1660 is a pulse-dialing modem with an audio input port. It was used with Commodore 64 and 128 computers and was a popular modem because of its low cost. However, since the modem was pulsed, the computer had to generate the touch tone sounds needed for transmission through telephone lines and send these tones through the modem. Because the tones were easily manipulated and changed, this made it a favorite modem for hackers and phreakers.
