Section One - Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your 56k V.90 modem, the latest in
communication technology. Your modem represents a new
generation of PC communication peripheral devices, combining
high-speed Data and Fax functions into a single device. It supports
V.90 and K56flex technology for 56kbits/s data transfer rates. This
high performance modem connects your computer to all popular
modems and fax machines in use today. The modem uses the
Lucent chipset and standard Lucent LT Winmodem software drivers
for the highest level of compatibility.

1.1 How Does V.90 Work

V.90 technology allows users to receive data from their Internet
Service Provider (ISP) at data rates up to 56kbps. To make use of
this capability, your ISP must support either the V.90 or the K56flex
standard.

1.2 Benefits of V.90 56k Communications

For serious Internet users the increase in speed is dramatic,
because the information that usually makes you wait – graphics­heavy Web pages, sound, video, and other large files – now
downloads to your computer twice as fast as with previous speed
standards. Upstream transmissions (mostly keystroke and mouse
commands from your computer, which require less bandwidth)
continue to flow quickly at the conventional rate of 33.6Kbps.
