HP 239411-001 56K V.90 PCI Internal Modem

Product Description

The HP 239411-001 is an internal modem card that utilizes the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus for integration into desktop computers. This modem is designed to provide traditional dial-up connectivity, supporting the V.90 standard for data transmission speeds of up to 56 kilobits per second (Kbps). It is an essential component for systems that require access to the internet or other networks via a standard analog telephone line. Beyond internet access, this internal modem also offers robust fax capabilities. Users can send and receive faxes directly from their computer, making it a versatile communication tool for businesses or individuals who still rely on fax technology. The internal design means it occupies a PCI slot within the computer, keeping the exterior of the system free from external devices and cables associated with modems. This product is particularly relevant for legacy systems or specific environments where high-speed broadband internet is not available or required, and dial-up access remains a necessary option. The 56K V.90 standard represents the highest speed achievable over standard analog phone lines, providing a reliable, albeit slower, method for data communication and faxing.
