• Modem-on-Hold
• V.44 Data Compression
QuickConnect
Allows your modem to connect to the ISP faster than before. Very simply,
QuickConnect shortens the time it takes to make a connection by
remembering the phone line and ISP characteristics, then storing them
for later usage. QuickConnect cuts the modem handshake time in half for
most calls.
PCM Upstream
Boosts the upstream data rates between you and your ISP to reduce
upload times for large files and email attachments. Although previous
modem standards like V.90 may have shown a downstream connection
rate of up to 57.6 the actual upload speeds were limited to 33.6 kbps.
V.92 raises the upload rate to a maximum of 48 kbps so e-mails and file
transfers can upload much faster.
Modem-on-Hold (MOH)
Many households use the same phone line for voice calls and for surfing
the Internet. Before MOH, the user browsing the Internet prevented
incoming or outgoing phone calls. Now, modem-on-hold enables users to
receive incoming calls while remaining connected to the Internet.** Also,
you can make a voice call while connected to the Internet and keep the
modem connection active. Typically, you can spend up to 10 minutes on
a voice call without affecting your online connection, then, when you
hang up the phone, you can resume browsing. For more information on
using modem-on-hold, go to Section 4.0, “Setting Up and Using Modem-
on-Hold” on page 16.
V.44 Data Compression
Automatically compresses your data to boost your effective data delivery
rates from 10 to 120% faster than those achieved by using the V.42bis com-
pression protocol. The most popular activity on the Internet is browsing web
sites, and this is where V.44 delivers the greatest improvement over V.42bis.
Most web pages use HTML content that can be highly compressed to
increase your data throughput by up to 120%. V.44 increases data through-
put for email by up to 27%, Word documents by up to 21%, PowerPoint files
by up to 10%, and C source files by up to 45%. V.44 will not typically
increase your data delivery rate for already compressed files like JPEG and
GIF pictures, and TAR, SIT, and ZIP archived software downloads.
