2. What is a Modem?
A modem is a device that allows computers to communicate
with each other over normal telephone lines.
You may know that computers process information in the form
of digital electronic signals. Because telephone lines are
designed to carry voice or sound, a modem is required to
convert the digital signals of the computer to sound signals.
Another modem is required to convert the sound signals back
to digital signals at the other end.
