The Teleplay Modem was a modem for the Nintendo Entertainment System created by Keith Rupp and Nolan Bushnell , designed to provide online play between NES users, while also possessing compatibility with the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System Super Nintendo . The first prototype, called the Ayota Modem , had a maximum speed of only 300 bit s, too slow to render normal NES quality graphics. It was unveiled at the 1992 consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, where it received a fairly good reception. Bushnell later dropped out of the project, and Keith Rupp founded the company Baton Technologies . He continued to develop the modem, changing its name to the Teleplay Modem, increasing the speed to 2400 bit s, and also conceiving the idea of Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo system compatibility. The modem would also allow cross platform play between Nintendo and Sega with properly coded games. Three games were developed internally Battle Storm, Terran Wars, and Sea Battle but never released. Both Nintendo and Sega refused to license the Teleplay Modem or the games developed for it. Sega instead licensed AT&T to develop a modem the Edge 16 , but no hardware was ever sold at retail. The venture capitalists behind Baton Technologies feared competing against AT&T and attempting to sell hardware games without the all important licensing, so Baton was unable to fulfill its first 300,000 order, and quickly folded thereafter in the summer of 1993. Later Catapult Entertainment developed the 2400 baud XBand modem, similar to the Teleplay Modem in many respects. Although well funded by Old Viacom Viacom , Catapult failed to receive sufficient developer and gamer backing, folding ... more details

A fax modem is like a data modem but is designed to transmit and receive documents to and from a fax machine or another fax modem. Some, but not all, fax modems do double duty as data modems. As with other modem s, fax modems can be internal or external. Internal fax modems are often called fax boards. In the early 1990s small business PCs commonly had a PC based fax modem card and fax software typically WinFax Pro . Largely replaced by E mail , PC based faxing with a fax modem declined at the turn of the century. Where faxing from a PC is required there are a number of Internet fax Internet based faxing alternatives. Where businesses still had one or more traditional fax machines churning out pages, they were usually outnumbered by PCs processing E mail. PC faxing Computer users may set up a PC fax modem with card, telephone line access and software. A special printer driver may be included to allow treating the fax modem as a printer. Fax integration is available in unified communications e.g. E mail, Voice Mail and Fax managed together , in a number of Business telephone system Hosted PBX systems Hosted PBX products where standard features allow users to send a fax by using the fax phone number as the address of a E mail message, and receive incoming faxes via E mail with the Fax content presented as a Portable Document Format PDF attachment.

Radio modems transfer data wirelessly across a range of up to tens of kilometres. Using radio modems is a modern way to create Private Radio Networks PRN . Private radio networks are used in industrial critical applications, when real time data communication is needed. Also Radio Data Modem enables user to be independent of telecommunication or satellite network operators. In most cases users use licensed frequencies either in UHF or VHF band. Licensed frequency is reserved for given user in certain area thus ensuring that there is less likelihood to have radio interference from other RF transmitters . Also licence free frequencies are available in most countries, enabling easy implementation, but at the same time other users may use same frequency, thus making it possible that given frequency is blocked. Typical users for Radio Data Modems are Surveying Land survey differential GPS , fleet management applications, SCADA applications utility distribution networks , automated meter reading AMR , telemetry applications and many more. Since applications usually require high reliability of data transfer and very high uptime, radio performance plays a key role. Factors influencing radio performance are Antenna radio antenna height and type, the Sensitivity electronics sensitivity of the radio, the output power of the radio and the complete system design.

History Origins As part of the effort that would lead to the Community Memory bulletin board system , Lee Felsenstein had found an Omnitech modem or something like that . ref name cl Designed to operate at rates as high as 300 bits per second bps , the modem was able to change its speed to match conditions or differences in the modems at either end. In general it was good for only 100 bps, the speed that was used for much of its operational life. The modem was attached to a Teletype Model 33 ASR machine at Leopold s Records in Berkeley, California and connected to the SDS 940 mainframe computer in San Francisco . ref name cl Crosby, ON LINE AT LEOPOLD S ref Felsenstein was unimpressed by the Omnitech design, especially its price of 300, ref name cl and convinced himself he could design a better version. He found that one half of the design problem was easy generating the proper tones for transmission was simple. The other half of the problem was much harder listening to the incoming signal and processing the tones back out. The traditional solution was to generate a local reference tone and compare it to the incoming signal, but this was subject ... as mundane as temperature changes. ref name cm Crosby, PENNYWHISTLE MODEM ref Felsenstein found two ... signal coming from the PLL.
