Communications Modem

Serial: 104255

This is a Modem for Commodore 64 to allow the connection to the Compunet services.

Compunet was a United Kingdom based interactive service provider, catering primarily for the Commodore 64 but later for the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. It was also known by its users as CNet.

Compunet hosted a wide range of content, and users were permitted to create their own sections within which they could upload their own graphics, articles and software. A custom editor existed in which the “frames” that made up the pages could be created either offline or when connected to the service.

The editor’s cache allowed users to quickly download a set of pages, then disconnect from the service in order to read them, thus saving on telephone costs.
