The 56K computer modem was introduced to the world in the nineties. It was invented by Dr. Brent Townshend in 1996. Today modems have become faster and smaller and have taken the world to the next level, in many ways.
42.4Kbps on a really good day...
Good old A+ hardware test questions. Version .92 is the current standard.
features? Well, the "features" of a true standard 56k modem are that it accepts and sends information in bits and packages through a phone line. DSL and Cable modems are different. They actually convert data back and forth for a higher stream range. I suggest you goto howstuffworks.com. They have an extensive area for modems and networking materials.
Web Browser Examples : Mozilla Firefox, Internet explorer Google chrome etc.
A few ways you can make your DSL get it's full capicity is by running your antivirus scans, run disk cleanups, and speed up your computer. If your computer is at peak performance, your DSL will be at peak performance. To see how fast your DSL is, you can go to: http://www.speedtestnet.com
The computer most people use comes with a standard 56K modem, which means that in an ideal situation your computer would downstream at a rate of 56 kilobits per second (Kbps).
Yes
transmission speed
You should be able to buy an external 56K USB modem at any place that sells computer parts. The modem just plugs in to a USB port, and the phone line plugs into the modem.
In the US modem speed is limited to 56K.

Since 56K dialup modems are a very old technology, it will be very difficult to find the part that you are looking for. Ebay.com may have what you are looking for, however.
It's used to connect to the internet by way of 56K, Ethernet or network card.
Yes, you can. But it'll be a quite laggy and I wouldn't recommend that either.
Digital modems developed from the need to transmit data for North American air defense during the 1950s. Modems were used to communicate data over the public switched telephone network or PSTN. Analog telephone circuits can only transmit signals that are within the frequency range of voice communication. A modem sends and recieves data between two computers. Modem stands for modulate/demodulate.In 1962, the first commercial modem was manufactured - the Bell 103 by AT&T. The Bell 103 was also the first modem with full-duplex transmission, frequency-shift keying or FSK, and had a speed of 300 bits per second or 300 bauds.The 56K modem was invented by Dr. Brent Townshend in 1996.
Phone Lines were only used to connect to the internet with 56k modem. Most people nowadays have DSL or Cable which uses the Ethernet Port on your computer.
This question doesn't make very much sense. 'Pixels' refer to dots of visual display data on a monitor or similar display. 56k refers to a dialup modem typically. And TMK, Dell never made a modem of their own. They utilized existing companies' technology.
