5. Load your terminal software (you will need to use a "terminal
program" to allow your VIC to "talk" over the telephone). You
can use any of the following programs.
a. VICTERM I - this is a cassette program included with your
VICMODEM. Requires use of the DATASSEJTE to load into
the computer. See instructions later in this manual.
b. VICTERM-40 Cartridge - A special Terminal cartridge avail
able summer 1982.
c. VIC-terminal program. - see page 7.

any cartridges in the Expansion Port (see figure 1). Be sure to
turn the computer off before inserting or removing any car
tridges. If you are not using VICTERM I be sure to follow the
instructions as given in the manual provided with the software.
CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE
1. You must have a modulartelephone in which the plug may
be disconnected from the handset, (see figure 3) If your
handset does not have an RJ11C plug (afour pin plug) you may
have to purchase a VICMODEM Non Modular Telephone
Adapter.
2. Set the originate/answer switch on the side of the modem to
the correct position. You should push it to the "O" position
(originate mode), when you are using yourcomputer to "talk" to
most information providers. It will be in this position to
connect to the Commodore Information Network. It is set
"A" (answer mode), when you are receiving a call originated by
another computer; example, you plan to communicate directly
by phone with a friend; he will start his VICMODEM in "originate
mode" and you will set yours to "answer mode".
