What are the advantages of using a V.92 modem ?
The new V.92 modem modulation and V.44 compression technologies can enhance your Internet connection with these features:

  • Modem-on-hold : Solves a significant consumer problem in single-line households: missing important calls while someone is online. This feature identifies incoming voice calls, gives users the option to accept the calls or not, then lets them suspend the Internet session to take calls if they choose. Without the risk of missing important calls, many single-line households will be more likely to go online more frequently.
  • Pulse code modulation (PCM) : Delivers faster software uploads and better performance for interactive applications.
  • QuickConnect : Gets users on-line faster, reducing frustration and encouraging more-frequent use.
  • V.44 Enhanced Compression : Increases throughput for HTML files.
