- No it's not. As a matter of fact, the commonly used modem modulations
- faster than 300 bps are SYNCHRONOUS modulations. The timing information
- is carried along with the data bits. Bell 212/V.22, V.22bis, V.32, and
- V.32bis all do this (as well as a host of other modulations that aren't
- as well known among casual modem users).
-
- The only added cost for a modem is building in support for the RS232 clock
- signals. The modem-to-modem connection is already synchronized.
