Modem (Modulation/Demodulation)

A Modem converts digital signals into analog signals which can be transmitted over an analog line (in many cases a PSTN connection), and transforms incoming analog signals into their digital equivalents. The specific technique used to encode the digital bits into analog signals is called "Modulation Protocol", which defines the exact method of encoding and the data transfer speed. A Modem typically supports more than one Modulation Protocol.
