PRACTICAL PERIPHERALS PRACTICAL MODEM 14400FXSA V.32BIS
=============================================================================
If you always wanted a super high-performance modem but couldn't
justify the cost, NOW you can. Listing at just $549, Practical's
PM14400FXSA V.32bis stand-alone combines the benefits of the
latest high-speed modem and fax technologies into a single,
economical, space-saving 3" x 5" x 10" package. You'll be
amazed at how quickly it pays for itself in long distance
telephone savings.
Besides the ability to send and receive faxes at high speeds,
this full duplex 14400bps modem can achieve data throughput up to
a blazing 57,600bps using V.42 error correction and V.42bis data
compression. The modem supports CCITT V.32 and V.32bis,
providing optimal data transmission speeds over common telephone
lines. To ensure maximum throughput and avoid data loss due to
changing line conditions, speed adjusts automatically at
14,400bps with fallback to 12,000, 9600, 7200 or 4800bps.
In addition to ten multicolored LEDs, this high-performance fax
modem provides a unique 12-character backlit LCD for real-time
status on modem operation. The modem also offers secondary dial
tone detection, a programmable speaker and non-volatile storage
of four telephone numbers up to 36 digits each.
When placing a credit card telephone call, the calling card
prompt tone (bong) from the telephone service indicates readiness
to accept a credit card number for billing purposes. The
PM14400FXSA V.32bis can easily be programmed to transmit the
appropriate credit card identification sequence after the "bong."
The modem can also translate alphanumeric telephone numbers
(i.e.; 1-800-GOMODEM) to their numerical equivalent. These
features allow users to take advantage of time-saving utilities
offered on popular personal organizer software.
Other useful built-in features include six pages of on-line help
files showing all commands and an on-line session screen which
gives information on link statistics and connection details.
Compatible with Hayes Ultra 144 (tm), Ultra (tm) and Optima (tm),
the PM14400FXSA V.32bis also provides universal connectivity,
complying with V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V.21, Bell 212A and
Bell 103 protocols. It supports MNP levels 2-5, Trellis Code
Modulation and echo cancellation technology and offers Group III
send/receive fax capabilities.
The PM14400FXSA V.32bis is covered by Practical's lifetime
warranty. Free factory repair or replacement is available to
buyers of Practical modems for as long as they own the product.
SOFTWARE
The PM14400FXSA V.32bis comes with Quick Link II Fax (tm), one of
the most complete and easiest to use data and fax communications
programs available today.
With Quick Link II Fax, both the sending and receiving of fax
transmissions can be performed entirely in the background while
using other DOS applications. FastFax IV (tm) allows you to send
laser-quality faxes from any DOS application by simply printing
(complete set of soft fonts included). You don't even need to
leave your DOS program. The NiteFax (tm) feature allows printing
of incoming fax messages automatically in the background on most
printers.
This versatile software provides a complete fax phone list,
delayed transmission to take advantage of lower nighttime phone
rates and the ability to easily broadcast faxes to a list of
remote locations. Quick Link II can handle a variety of file
formats including ASCII (text), PCX and DCX (PC Paintbrush), TIFF
(scanner), IMG (GEM or Ventura Publisher), BMP (Windows), CUT
(Dr. Halo), MacPaint and WordPerfect document files.
Data communications features include eight file transfer
protocols, five terminal emulators, easy access data phone list
and powerful scripting language.
