What Does Modem Station Do?

♦

Modem Station provides a simple to use
interface that makes communicating with
your modem easy.

♦

Modem Station allows you to point and
click your way through configuration.

♦

Modem Station can automatically detect
your modem and provide you with all the
technical information you need, whenever
you need it!

Why Modem Station?

♦

Modem commands can be confusing and
difficult to memorize.

♦

Communications software often requires
technical information about your modem.

♦

You may want to “tweak” your modem for
optimum performance.
