RocketModem III - Turbocharged 56K* V.90 Multimodem Cards

Supports PCI 3.3 and 5.0 Volt and is compatible with PCI-X

The Comtrol RocketModem^® III is an integrated, multimodem, PCI-X compatible bus expansion card** designed to provide remote access on an industry standard application server or to build a custom data communications or fax server. Combining Comtrol’s proven RocketPort^® multiport serial controller technology with industry-standard modem modules, the RocketModem III provides either four or eight 56 Kbps V.90 data and fax modems in one easily installed, easily configured package.

The RocketModem III incorporates a 36 MHz RISC processor dedicated to processing asynchronous serial communications, thereby maximizing performance and minimizing CPU utilization. Utilizing Comtrol’s unique Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology means simplified installation, elimination of shared memory conflicts, and increased reliability.

Optimum 56K Performance

The RocketModem III modem card uses proven, industry-standard fax modem modules to support a full range of data protocols at speeds up to 56 Kbps carrier speed. These include V.90, K56flex, V.34, V.32terbo, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.42, MNP2-4, ECC error correction, V.42bis, and MNP5 data compression. Support is also provided for Group 3 fax send-and receive at rates up to 14.4 Kbps, including T.30 protocol, fax Class 2.

RocketModem III enables a wide variety of remote access applications, including dial-out access to ISPs, dial-in access for mobile workers or telecommuters who require access to the corporate LAN or intranet, and enterprise fax capabilities
