access to your personal computer. It's designed for use in home, small office and
educational settings and operates through existing cable TV networks. With the
DCM105, subscribers will be able to access interactive multimedia services on the
Internet and send and receive information at speeds up to 100 times faster than

Fast!
The RCA DCM offers one of the fastest, most efficient ways to get on-line and surf the
net. You'll have instant access to high-speed internet browsing, e-mail, chat, and news
services at speeds up to 100 times faster than your dial-up telephone modem
Convenient!
No boot-up. No dial-in. No busy signal. The cable modem is always "on"—ready
when you are. You'll have unlimited access, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And the
RCA DCM hooks right up to your current cable system, so there's no need to add
costly phone lines or adapters.
You'll never tie up your home phone line again!
