Actiontec electronic 56K ISA Lite Action

Thank you for purchasing the Actiontec 56K ISA Lite internal modem. The Advan-

tage incorporates the latest technology in host-based V.90 modems. This new tech-

nology provides vast improvements in both the performance and the capabilities of

personal computer fax/modems.

Controller-less modems, also known as Win Modems or Windows Modems, utilize

your computer’s Central Processing Unit (or CPU) to perform some of their func-

tions. The modems on-board Digital Signal Processing (DSP) circuitry handles the

most processor-intensive functions such as V.90 and V.34 modulation leaving the

system CPU to perform mundane tasks like data compression. This sharing of sys-

tem resources results in a streamlined, more reliable modem that does not tax overall

system speed. This modem also benefits from greater access to memory and disk

storage space through the system CPU.

Because their control code resides on disk and is easily upgradable, host-based mo-

dems keep up with advances in speed and capabilities that Personal Computers make.

Simply download the new driver, follow the installation instructions, and reboot

your system to take advantage of the latest improvements in personal computer hard-

ware design and performance.
