This external modem is designed for users who require high-speed dial-up internet access and fax capabilities, particularly those who value portability and ease of connection. The Xjack connector is a proprietary design that typically folds out from the modem body, allowing for a direct connection to a phone line via an RJ-11 port, often eliminating the need for separate cables.
