MODEL- SM56E              VENDOR- DIAMOND MULTIMEDIA
 
FEATURES- SupraMax External (Serial) 56K Modem
       External serial modem with V.92 compatibility.
       Diamond Supra unleashes the highest performance SupraMax modems with 
        newly adopted ITU, V.92 and V.44 compression standards. 
       SupraMax gives you the advantages of extensive analog access to the 
        Internet with an added boost of speed over earlier standards. These 
        improvements include accelerated upstream data transfers (up to 
        40% faster), faster Internet dial-up connection times using an 
        intelligent start-up sequence, and advanced compression algorithms 
        that let you send common file type (such as HTML, e-mail, and 
        executable files) more efficiently. 
       The Modem-On-Hold feature lets you receive incoming voice calls 
        without dropping your current modem connections. And, because the 
        SupraMax V.92 is backward compatible with V.90 and earlier 
        standards, you can relax and enjoy faster Internet speeds without 
        worry.
* V.92 is an International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard for 
  analog modem connections, a new improvement over the existing V.90. 
  Though the top speed for downloads is still 56K, V.92 has a number of 
   enhancements.
* There are four important benefits to the V.92 standard; Quick Connect, 
  Modem-on-hold, PCM upstream and V.44 data compression.
  - Quick Connect - by reducing the amount of time it takes for the modem 
    and server to handshake, connect time is reduced dramatically. Instead 
    of taking around 25 seconds to connect, this may be reduced to 8 
    seconds.
  - Modem-on-hold - the end user can put the modem on hold and stay 
    connected to the Internet. The user can take an incoming voice call, or 
    even place a call while still connected. When the call is through, the 
    end user can resume Internet activities without having to re-dial and 
    connect.
  - PCM upstream - increases maximum upload speed to 44 Kbps.
  - V.44 - a standard for data compression specifically for HTML (normal 
    website), text and other common file types, for faster downloads. 
    Throughput can increase up to 30-40%. This will supercede the current 
    V.42bis standard.
* Your ISP carrier must provide support for V.92 and V.44 compression. 
  Please consult with your ISP for details.
