Faster modems heat up marketplace
Article Abstract:
The launching of the 56-Kbps modems by U.S. Robotics has added a third alternative to the usual analog and digital modems. Analog modems are relatively cheap but offer slow data transfer rates which are at most 33.6 baud. On the other hand, digital modems are expensive but offer data transfer rates of 128,000 baud. The 56-Kbps modems are software-based and allow users to receive but not send data at 56-Kbps when used with an Internet service or corporate intranet. However, they are not compatible with analog modems.
