Synopsis

Telecomputing is the up and coming technology that combines telecommunications and computing. Modems are the essential link to this new technology, the device that lets personal computers communicate with company mainframes, fax machines, electronic mail services, bulletin boards and other information sources. Written as a technical reference, this guide covers all popular modulation standards, including the Bell System and CCITT recommendations. The book gives a checklist of 25 modem features, covering the factors that govern modem compatibility, and examines the compatibility of 10 popular modems. It also presents methods for testing and trouble-shooting modems.
