The USRobotics 56K* Serial Controller Faxmodem combines the superior
performance and reliability of a controller-based modem with the
convenience of V.92 and V.22 technologies — with up to 75% less energy
use. V.22 Fast Connect, which reduces the connection sequence time for
very small data transfers, and secure connectivity make this modem ideal
for Point of Sale (POS) systems. The modem also enables secure Machine to
