What is a Fax Modem?
A modem is a device for exchanging data between a computer and a telephone line. If you have a
modem, you can carry out computer communications (connecting computers by a telephone line
and exchanging information).
A fax modem is a modem which, in addition to the above functions, has a function of sending data
to a fax machine. Therefore, when you transmit a document to another person’s fax machine, you
don’t have to go to the trouble of printing out the document and setting it in your fax machine.
You can also receive data sent from a fax machine.
