What Can You Do with Your Modem?

Your Multi-Tech MultiModem is the gateway to the exciting world of telecommunications.
You can use it to access commercial on-line information services such as CompuServe, America
Online, Genie, and Prodigy. These services provide access to databases, encyclopedias, stock
reports, news, weather, and shopping. They provide electronic mail (e-mail) links to subscribers of
the same and other services. Public message areas called forums allow subscribers to trade
information and opinions on a vast array of topics from A to Z, while vendor forums provide hardware
and software support from Multi-Tech and other manufacturers. Online services also allow you to
upload and download computer programs, data files, and updated software such as video and printer
drivers.
Your modem can also connect you to the Internet, an international computer network of universities,
libraries, businesses, and government agencies. Like the commercial online services, the Internet
provides e-mail services, public message areas, and access to information and software, much of it
easily accessed through the World Wide Web.
Other uses include direct links to colleagues with modems, to banks, and to service bureaus. You can
also telecommute with your fax modem—work at home while communicating with the office by
modem or fax.
And of course, you can use your modem to exchange faxes with any fax machine in the world,
enabling you to communicate quickly with businesses and organizations that do not have direct
modem communications.
