6 Aztech AT3300 Audio Fax/Data Modem

Introduction

Introduction

The Aztech AT3300 audio fax/data modem operates in Plug and Play mode, therefore the hardware settings should not conflict with those of any other devices on the system. The Windows 95 Device Manager can be used to check the type of modem and configuration installed on the PC.

The built-in full duplex Speakerphone communications option delivered with the HP Vectra 500 Series PC offers a complete business solution. It provides the latest state-of-the-art communications tools that give access to a world of communications possibilities. Not only is it possible to send and receive faxes, and receive voice messages, but also to access a huge store of information through Bulletin Board Systems (called BBSs). Files and computer software can be uploaded and downloaded to and from a BBS.

The Speakerphone communications option provides hands-free communication and multimedia functions, through the use of a headset and other audio devices. However, what will be appreciated most in the communications option is its telephone answering capabilities and the possibility for everyday modem-to-modem exchange of business faxes and files.

Service providers, including America Online, CompuServe, GEnie, and Prodigy, supply access to services such as electronic mail, airline reservations, banking and finance, and computer support forums.

The communications option is fully compliant with both U.S. and international communications standards. Compatibility with these standards ensures the possibility to communicate with other modems anywhere in the world.
