wow, an official commodore amiga branded modem? probably wouldn't be able to push more than 2400 baud at wirespeed :lol: sorry :-D

any external serial port modem with work fine on an amiga just the same as a PC :-)
 
i started off with a noname 2400 speed block of grey, but the speed didn't bother me as i only connected to BBS's but didn't download (nor pay the phone bill).
then i got an X-link 14.4k and was king of the hill till a mate got a 28.8k rebranded something from PCworld.
then 56.6k became cheap plentifull.

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD

@Sim085
yup, any serial port phoneline modem will work  :-)

a small idea i've just had, is that with the slow death of dialup internet access, there are serialport2bluetooth adapters. then you may be able to use a mobile phone as a data hookup...? just an idea... oh and providing you have an unlimited data tarif...
