Description
The Intel 9600EX is an external modem designed for asynchronous serial communication over standard analog telephone lines. Operating at a maximum speed of 9600 bits per second (BPS), this modem was a common choice for users in the late 1980s and early 1990s who needed to connect their computers to remote systems, Bulletin Board Systems (BBS), or early online services. Its external design meant it connected to the computer's serial port (typically a DB9 or DB25 connector) and required its own power supply. This modem would have supported a range of industry-standard communication protocols, including V.22bis, which enabled the 2400 BPS speed, and likely earlier standards like V.22, V.21, and Bell equivalents for backward compatibility. Users would interact with the modem using Hayes AT command sets, sending commands to dial numbers, answer calls, and configure settings. The 9600 BPS speed offered a significant improvement over earlier 1200 or 2400 BPS modems, making tasks like downloading files or sending messages considerably faster. The Intel 9600EX represents a piece of computing history, showcasing the evolution of telecommunications technology. While speeds of 9600 BPS are now considered extremely slow, at the time of its release, it provided a crucial gateway to the burgeoning digital world, enabling remote access and communication that was previously unavailable to most individuals.
