Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
Action
tec 56K ISA Advantage V.90 internal modem.
The Advantage incorporates the latest technology in host-based V.90 modems. This
new technology provides vast improvements in both the performance and the capa-
bilities of personal computer fax/modems.
Controller-less modems, also known as Win Modems or Windows Modems, utilize
your computer’s Central Processing Unit (or CPU) to perform some of their func-
tions. The modems on-board Digital Signal Processing (DSP) circuitry handles the
most processor-intensive functions such as V.90 and V.34 modulation leaving the
system CPU to perform mundane tasks like data compression. This sharing of sys-
tem resources results in a streamlined, more reliable modem that does not tax overall
system speed. This modem also benefits from greater access to memory and disk
storage space through the system CPU.
Because their control code resides on disk and is easily upgradable, host-based mo-
dems keep up with advances in speed and capabilities that Personal Computers make.
Simply download the new driver, follow the installation instructions, and reboot
your system to take advantage of the latest improvements in personal computer hard-
ware design and performance.
