V.92 is the latest in modem technology!
Get rid of your second phone line:
If you have Call Waiting, your V.92 modem with its 'Modem On Hold'
software
can let you know you have a call. You will be able to put your modem
'on-hold', up to 4 minutes and answer your phone without losing your
Internet
connection!* If you have Caller ID, your Modem-On-Hold software will let
you
know who is calling!
Get online faster:
Your V.92 modem learns and remembers how you most often connect to the
Internet. This shortens the time it takes for your modem to connect by
remembering ("training") the phone line characteristics and
storing them for
later usage. Typically, the modem handshake (all that noise you hear)
takes
about 20 or 35 seconds. V.92 modems will cut the modem handshake time in
half
for most calls.
V.44 Compression:
A new link-layer compression standard based on technology
developed
by Hughes Network Systems. V.44 offers a higher compression ratio than
older
V.42bis compression routines. Higher compression ratios mean that more
data
can be downloaded in the same amount of time. The most significant
improvement
will be noticed when you are browsing and searching the web, since HTML
text
files are highly compressible. For most users, data throughput will be
increased by 20 to 60%.
Check your modem for V.92 compatibility:
If you have an external modem, you will normally see V.92
indicated
on the label at the bottom of your modem. If you cannot find this label
or if
you have an internal modem, you will need to perform the steps
below:
Windows 95/98/ME/NT users
Click on the Windows Start button.
Point to Settings and select Control Panel.
Double-click on the Modems icon. A Modem Properties screen will appear.
If you
have a V.92 modem, you will see V.92.
Windows XP users
Click on the Windows Start button.
Select Control Panel.
Double-click on the Phone and Modem options icon. A Modem Properties
screen
will appear. If you have a V.92 modem, you will see V.92.
Note: For both internal and external modems, if you see V.90, your modem
is
not V.92 compatible.
Where can I get a V.92 modem?
V.92 modems are gradually becoming the industry standard, so
you
should be able to find them wherever modems are sold. If you are
purchasing a
new computer, it should have a V.92 modem already installed. Most local
computer stores have these modems priced from between $15 and $40.
