    *** First Boot! ***
    Follow these steps in order:
    *Load CCGMS 2017, select User Port, and select 300 baud
    *Go back to terminal mode
    *Power on the device if using external power and hit enter
    *A menu should show up from the modem letting you know it’s alive!
    *Hit F8 to go to Ascii mode (Anscii mode) and enter your ssid and password with the following terminal commands: at$ssid=ssid and at$pass=password
    *F8 to go back to the Graphics terminal and type atc1 to connect. This may take a few attempts to connect.
    *Use the commands at&p0 and at&k1 . Without doing these 9600 baud will lock up your c64
    *Change the baud rate by using the command at$sb=9600
    *Go back to the Terminal F7 Menu and select Up9600 Baud / 9600 Baud
    *Go back to the terminal, and you should be able to see at and ok reponses.

    The modem installed on the user port conflicts with the Commodore 128’s Burst IEC serial mode. And, since the 128 tries to boot from disk drive #8 on boot, and it uses Burst serial to talk to a 1571 disk drive, it freezes on boot if such a drive is connected.
    The workaround on a regular 128 is to use a 1541 floppy or SD2IEC
    The work around is to cut trace 5 on the modem. It won’t run at 9600 baud but will max out at 2400.
    I will have a new modem out soon that will have a switch to “cut” trace 5.
