The MultiModemZPX is an internal, half-length, fax modem card that can be plugged
into any 16-bit ISA expansion slot. Your MultiModemZPX incorporates
V.90/K56flex
TM
modem technology, which enables Internet connections at data rates up to 56 Kbps
over standard telephone lines. V.90/K56flex technology is able to propel data
downstream from the Internet to your computer at speeds of up to 56 Kbps because
data is digitally encoded instead of modulated. Upstream transmission, mostly
keystroke and mouse commands from your computer to the central site, continues to
flow at the conventional data rate of 33.6 Kbps.
Note: Though this modem is capable of 56 Kbps download performance, line impairments,
public telephone infrastr uctur e, and other external technological factors cur rently pr event
maximum 56 Kbps connections.
Your MultiModemZPX offers interactive automatic dialing, as well as command mode
option configuration. You can store two command line/telephone numbers, of up to 40
characters each, in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse or tone dials
and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for reliable call-progress detection. The
modem can detect AT&T calling card tones. It is FCC-Registered for connection to
telephone networks without any Data Access Arrangements (DAAs).
The MultiModem ZPX is a full-featured internal data/fax/voice modem designed for
Pentium computers in either Windows Plug and Play or non-windows environments.
