Software-based modems (they are often called Soft modems) use fewer chips than more expensive modems. Software does the work normally done by the missing chips and the load falls on the computer’s main processor (CPU). Modems consist of two major components: A Datapump: Performs the basic modulation/demodulation tasks for which modems are named. A Controller: Provides the modem’s identity: this is where the protocols for hardware error correction, hardware data compression, and basic modulation protocols (such as V.34, x2, K56flex, or V.90) exist. The controller is also what interprets AT commands. Most modems implement both features in hardware, as chips inside the modem. A controllerless modem, such as a WinModem, still has a hardware datapump, but software implements the controller function. Why winmodems sometimes don’t work. Winmodems are designed to to talk to other winmodems. Essentially, Windows to Windows gaming is your thing, have a blast! If you also want to get onto the Int
