Like any modem, your MultiModemDSVD operates only under the control of a
communication program, such as the one included with the modem. It also operates
under other general-purpose data communication programs, such as Windows
Terminal and HyperTerminal. For information on how to use the modem with the
communication program of your choice, please refer to the program's
documentation.
Unlike other modems, with the MultiModemDSVD you can also simultaneously
send voice and data over a single phone line or, using third-party white-board
software, work on a document with someone at another location.
