	What is modem? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		A modem is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over, for example, telephone or cable lines.
		While the modem interfaces are standardized, a number of different protocols for formatting data to be transmitted over telephone lines exist.
		Modems that support a voice/data switch have a built-in loudspeaker and microphone for voice communication.

	Modem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A modem (a portmanteau word constructed from modulator and demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.
		Modems are generally classified by the amount of data they can send in a given time, normally measured in bits per second, or "bps".
		Modems in the United States were first introduced as a part of the SAGE air-defense system in the 1950s, connecting terminals located at various airbases, radar sites and command-and-control centers to the SAGE director centers scattered around the US and Canada.

	LEARN THE NET: All About Modems
		Modems were invented to convert digital computer signals into a form that allows them to travel over phone lines.
		A modem on the other end of the line understands it and converts the sounds back to digital information that the computer understands.
		A 56 Kbps modem is twice as fast, sending and receiving data at a rate of up to 56,000 bits per second.

		Short haul modems can also be used, even if the end-to-end length of the direct connection is longer than 15 km, when both ends of the line are served by the same central office in the telephone system.
		In the earliest modems, digital signals were converted to analog by transmitting a large amplitude sine wave for a "1" and zero amplitude for a "0", as shown in figure Modem-3.
		In this method, the modem shifts the phase of each succeeding signal in a certain number of degrees for a "0" (90 degrees for example) and a different certain number of degrees for a "1" (270 degrees for example) as illustrated in figure Modem-6.

		A modem is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over, for example, telephone or cable lines.
		While the modem interfaces are standardized, a number of different protocols for formatting data to be transmitted over telephone lines exist.
		However, the modem at the receiving end must be able to decompress the data using the same compression technique.

	Modem Connection When Travelling - Asiaspirit
		Modem with special socket requires a cable with a special plug.
		A modem can't do direct dialing with a 4 wires (office telephone) cable as an outside line (dial tone) has first to be obtained from the "telephone central control box", it is done with the 3rd and 4th wires.
		In some countries, the line wires are connected to the outside connectors instead of the two middle connectors, direct connection to a modem is not possible.

		In computing, a modem that is a self-contained unit sitting outside a personal computer (PC) and connected to it by a cable.
		External modems have the advantage over internal ones in that they are easy to move from computer to computer as needed.
		However, high-speed modems outstrip the capabilities of the serial ports on older and cheaper PCs by taking in data too fast for the computer to be able to read it.

		Answer: A modem is a piece of hardware that allows your computer to talk to other devices over a regular phone line.
		A modem converts digital signals from your computer into audible tones that can be transmitted over regular analog phone lines.
		The modem at the other end translates the analog signal back into the original digital signal and sends that information to the computer.

	Modem Protocols Explained (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is also possible for the two modems to change speeds in the middle of a connection, perhaps because they have detected an increase in telephone-line noise; this is called "retraining" -- the connection goes "on hold" for a couple seconds, but is not broken.
		Modems may incorporate data compression methods to increase the effective throughput of your data beyond the actual connection speed.
		When using error correction or compression, or modems that are capable of retraining, it is essential to enable an effective form of flow control between each modem and the computer (or terminal, or other device) it is immediately connected to.

	Data Communications FAQ (Windows Version)
		When using an external modem, be sure to purchase a high quality cable to connect it to the comm port on your computer.
		It is important to understand the difference between "line speed" (the speed with which your modem talks to the other modem), and Data Terminal Equipment or "DTE speed" (the speed with which your PC talks to the modem).
		And, if you use an external modem, be sure to use a high quality cable from the PC to the modem and check that it is securely connected.

	Information, Help, and Drivers related to Computer Modems
		Typical modems are referred to as an asynchronous device, meaning that the device transmits data in an intermittent stream of small packets.
		Internal: Modem which would be plugged into a slot located within or on the computer.
		External: Modem which is located within a box and is hooked up externally to the computer, generally VIA the Serial Ports.

	Controlling your Modem with AT Commands
		If both your modem and the remote modem that you are connecting with have phones connected through the phone jacks on the modem, this mode will allow you to toggle between a voice connection and a data connection.
		Here the modem dials 9 for an outside line and then waits for a dial tone (the default maximum wait time varies from modem to modem, but the range is usually 30 to 50 seconds, but you can change this value in register S7).
		Here you instruct the modem to tone dial the number and then, if it hears ringing, to wait up to fifty seconds for 5 seconds of silence before dialing the remaining digits (this could be an extension number, a password, or an account number).
