Hello people.

I have had a communications modem hanging around for some time now and have never got around to using it.

How would I use one of this day and age? More importantly what could I do with it once online?

If it's the Total Communications modem I believe that's 300 baud only.
Since there aren't anymore online services you can dial into for the C64 your best bet would be a dial-up BBS which is very rare.

Check the C64 BBS outpost, they have a list of active C64 BBSes (not sure how often it's updated) - most are telnet only but I believe there is at least one dial-up BBS in there.

You would also need a terminal program, CCGMS was the one of the most popular for the C64.

Otherwise that modem from what I remember of its size makes a nice bookend or paperweight.
