Browse the World-Wide Web, download video images and sound files and send e-mails around the world at the highest possible throughput rates. Microcom has combined the speed of V.34 with Advanced Parallel Technology to create the DeskPorte 28.8P, the fastest modem for Windows users.
With a transmission speed of 28,800 bps and V.42bis data compression, the DeskPorte 28.8P modem can reach throughput speeds of 115,200 bps through the serial port.
ADVANCED PARALLEL TECHNOLOGY (APT
(TM))
In addition to standard serial communications, the DeskPorte 28.8P also utilizes Advanced Parallel Technology (APT) to break the Windows serial port bottleneck that limits the speed of most modems to 19,200 bps. The DeskPorte 28.8P achieves throughput speeds of up to 300,000 bps in Windows by connecting to the PC's parallel port and transferring data 8 bits at a time instead of 1 bit at a time.
The DeskPorte 28.8P modem is fully compliant with the V.34 protocol. V.34 is the most advanced international standard for data communications and enables connection speeds of up to 28,800 bps. The modem also supports Rockwell International's V.Fast Class (V.FC) protocol, allowing backward compatibility with the installed base of over one million V.FC modems.
The DeskPorte 28.8P also supports Group III fax capability with transmission speeds up to 14,400 bps and comes complete with a Windows fax communications software package. You can be fully operational in minutes, with no additional software to purchase.
Good data communication support is imperative whether you are telecommuting, connecting to the Internet, downloading files or reviewing electronic mail. Microcom includes a comprehensive Windows data communication package with support for a wide range of popular options including Xmodem, Ymodem and Zmodem protocols.
For some, noisy telephone connections are a fact of life, especially when trying to connect from an analog cellular phone. MNP 10, the de facto standard protocol for high-performance data communications, allows modem users to get connected, stay connected and achieve the highest data throughput under all line conditions, including analog cellular.
The DeskPorte 28.8P is designed with flash downloadable memory. This allows software upgrades and enhancements to be downloaded via floppy disk or the Microcom BBS, keeping your modem up-to-date.
For your convenience, we have included modemWATCH, a Windows application that displays LED status indicators on your computer screen, enabling you to place your modem anywhere you wish.
The DeskPorte 28.8P is Microcom's most affordable V.34 desktop modem that incorporates Advanced Parallel Technology. It offers the same lightning-fast performance as the DeskPorte FAST with a price that is affordable for home or small business use.
