The expert guide to choosing, using and troubleshooting modems!

In the age of the Internet, modems are more important than they've ever been. But they're still more mysterious than they ought to be. In Modems in the Information Age, a professional communications engineer explains everything you need to know to select, install and troubleshoot modems.

Discover:

Modems in the Information Age provides detailed, step-by-step guidance on modem testing and troubleshooting. Learn what those modem indicator lights mean, how to use the testing capabilities of the AT command language, and how to test serial ports. The book comes with sophisticated modem test software, and simple instructions on how to use it.

Understand every category of communications software-including terminal emulators, fax and OCR software, Internet browsers, voice communications software, FTP, compression, encoding and decoding, and even encryption. If you're a communications professional, you'll also find invaluable coverage of specialty modems, including commercial voiceband, wireless, and short haul modems.

Ever wondered just how modems work? You're in the right place. Lewart explains the theory of modems, demonstrates the theoretical and practical limits on their performance-and takes a close look at the chipset at the heart of today's most popular modems.

You can't make the most of modem technology if you don't understand it. No matter who you are, Modems in the Information Age will make you a smarter modem buyer, and a more effective modem user.
