Hardware Overview
The Comet is an intelligent high-speed fax/modem and Ethernet LAN adapter. The
modem can be used as both a send/receive fax machine and a data modem. When
connecting to another modem/fax, the modem automatically negotiates the fastest
speed possible. The PC Card FAX/MODEM/LAN is designed to work with many of
the popular fax/modem and LAN communication software packages. Some software
packages will control and configure the fax/modem for you automatically, however,
they are usually only useful to those who need the modem to perform special tasks. AT
commands can also be used to control the fax/modem manually.
