Amstrad NC100

The design also included terminal emulation and XMODEM file transfer software which enabled the NC100 to communicate through dial-up analogue modems.

ASCII Express

AE II runs on any Apple II with DOS 3.x and one of a small handful of modems available, including the Hayes Micromodem II.

Blended learning

In the early 1980s, CD-ROMs emerged as a dominant form of providing technology-based learning as bandwidth through 56k modems weren’t able to support very high quality sound and video.

Cable modem

LANcity was an early pioneer in cable modems, developing a proprietary system that was widely deployed in the U.S. LANcity, which was led by the Iranian-American engineer Rouzbeh Yassini, was then acquired by Nortel, which eventually spun the cable modem business off as ARRIS.

Caller ID

Modems are notoriously problematic; very few modems support the British Telecom standard in hardware; drivers for those that do often have errors that prevent CLID information from being recognised.

Com21

The Com21 portfolio can be divided into three segments: the central or head end equipment, cable modems or CPE, and the management platform.

Command HQ

Command HQ supports head-to-head play by two players connected remotely via serial (RS-232) cable, dial up modems, or locally via a null-modem cable.

DSL modem

DSL routers, the most common form of DSL modem, the are external to the computer and wired to the computer's Ethernet port or its USB port, whereas voice-band modems are usually internal devices installed in the computer itself in a PCI interface slot in the back.

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access

During 2007, an increasing number of telcos worldwide began selling HSDPA USB modems to provide mobile broadband connections.

Mobile broadband modem

These standards have become deprecated by the end of the 2000s in favour of USB-based modems, which are compatible with a greater number of devices.

SMS banking

Depending on the volume of messages that are require to be pushed, means to connect to the SMSC could be different, such as using simple modems or connecting over leased line using low level communication protocols (like SMPP, UCP etc.) Advanced SMS banking solutions also cater to providing failover mechanisms and least-cost routing options.

Sublink Network

Sublink was the very first public (non-academic) internet email and newsgroup network in Italy, with very low access fees (around $100 a year), fast backbone modems running at 19200 bps (the average modem was 2400 bit/s at that time), and fully registered to the NIC.

TP-Link

3/G/4G routers share Internet connections deriving from modems accessing various wireless broadband technology standards such as LTE, HSPA+/HSUPA/HSDPA, UMTS, and EVDO.

USRobotics

USR was founded in 1976 in Chicago, Illinois (and later moved to Skokie, Illinois), by a group of entrepreneurs, including Casey Cowell, who served as CEO for most of the company's history and Paul Collard who designed modems into the mid-1980s.

Vitelcom

Vitelcom makes DVD and VCR equipment under contract using the Funai brand name, mobile phones using the Grundig mobile name under license, plus handheld computer equipment and ADSL modems.

VLYNQ

VLYNQ is a proprietary interface developed by Texas Instruments and used for broadband products, such as WLAN and modems, VOIP processors and audio and digital media processor chips.

Voice modem command set

USB modems may or may not have this problem, because some USB modems are simply serial modems with a "USB-to-serial" converter chipset (in which case there should be no problem), and other USB modems are "host-controlled" and are essentially externally-attached Winmodems (in which case the problem may persist).

Wally Dallenbach, Jr.

The following years saw Wally jumping around to different rides including the #15 Hayes Modems Ford for Bud Moore in 1996, and the #46 First Union Chevrolet for Felix Sabates from 1997 through part of 1998.

Windows Open Services Architecture

These extensions include, among others, ODBC (called the "crowning jewel of WOSA"), TAPI, WOSA/XFS, SAPI and MAPI, and their supporting services, as well as the abstraction of access to printers, modems, and networking services, which run identically over TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, and NetBEUI.

XS4ALL

Because international telephone connections from Egypt to the rest of the world are not blocked people can dial into the modems in Amsterdam and then log into the internet using username and password xs4all.
