Dial-up Modems

Controller-based, controllerless or softmodem? 33.6 modem or 56K modem? What's the difference? USRobotics will show you how modems work so you can pick the one you need.

Why use a modem?

Modems are ideal for applications where an "always-on" connection is not required, such as sales kiosks and point of sales terminals. They are also ideal for secondary and tertiary backup systems behind today's high speed Internet connections. Many companies use modems to ensure their network will remain functional in the event their T1, ADSL, or cable Internet connection is unavailable or disabled.
