MultiTech 92600000 33.6 / 56K Data/Fax Modem Internal

Product Description

The MultiTech 92600000 is an internal modem card designed to be installed inside a personal computer or server. It provides both data and fax communication capabilities, allowing the host system to send and receive data files and faxes over standard analog telephone lines. The modem supports data transfer rates of 33.6 Kbps, a common high-speed standard for its era, and the mention of '56K' suggests it may also support the V.90 or V.92 56K modem standard, which offered faster download speeds under specific network conditions. As an internal modem, it typically connects to the computer's motherboard via an ISA or PCI slot, depending on the system's architecture. It would also require a connection to a telephone line via an RJ-11 jack. The integration of fax capabilities means it can function as a software-based fax machine, sending documents directly from applications and receiving faxes into files. This type of modem was widely used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for dial-up internet access, remote office connectivity, and general data communication needs. MultiTech is known for producing reliable networking and communication hardware, and this internal modem would have been a cost-effective solution for adding communication capabilities to a computer system without occupying external desk space.
