The emergence of Internet, the Web and e-mail technologies has rendered modems essential for everybody. In terms of speed, the latest 'standard' is 56 Kbps, which actually comes in two versions: one, called K56flex, is produced by Rockwell; and the other, called x2, is made by 3Com. An overall standard called v.90, announced in 1998, can usually be made to work with both. Modems should include 14.4 Kbps and 9.6 Kbps faxing capabilities.

Industry Finding Uses for Ever-Faster Modems When a business outgrows the aging standard for asynchronous, dial-up telecommunications --1,200 bits per second (bps)--a raft of technologies are waiting to speed data [...]

2,400-BIT-PER-SECOND MODEMS Speedy units are gaining swift acceptance in corporate circles For a product that the market viewed with considerable skepticism only a year ago, 2,400-bit-per-second (bps) PC-compatible modems have [...]

In Remote Links, A Modem's Speed Equates to Power When it comes to linking computer equipment, speed means power. It's that simple. The more quickly data moves between devices, the [...]

Reports of the death of the 1200-bps modem have been greatly exaggerated. Last year, when a series of 2400-bit-per-second asynchronous modems was simultaneously announced at Comdex/Fall, market analysts wasted no [...]

Judging by modem vendors' recent actions, IBM PCs and compatibles will lend themselves more and more to data telecommunications. Not long ago, nearly all modems were stand-alone models that interfaced [...]

An insurance agent in San Francisco is using his IBM PC to query the Boston office's IBM mainframe about the current status of a client's policy. At a manufacturing company, [...]

Faster means better in everything from starships to Soap Box Derby racers. Joining the mad race against time is a new crop of computer communications equipment--high-speed, 2400-bps modems--that promises to [...]

MODEMS: APPROACHING LIGHTNING SPEED Modem vendors are attempting to gain some elbow room in the increasingly crowded personal-computer communications market with the introduction of 2400-baud asynchronous modems. These vendors are [...]

It's 2 a.m. Do you know where your sales forecasts are? You may think they are stored securely in the company's mainframe or micro. If your computers are accessible by [...]

To say that the modem is becoming a very popular peripheral for personal computers is an understatement. As more and more people enter the world of data communications, modems have [...]
