Welcome to 56K* Information Access

The International Telecommunication

Union (ITU) determines the technical

protocols that communications devices

must use to operate with each other.

Modems that comply with ITU standards

can “talk” to other standards-compliant

modems and fax machines worldwide.

The ITU has decided on a worldwide

standard for 56K modem technology.

With a 3Com U.S. Robotics modem, you

can get 56K Internet access from any

service provider who offers the ITU

V.90 standard or 3Com 56K technology.

3Com is working with providers

everywhere to quickly upgrade their

service to the ITU V.90 standard.

* IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU

standard for 56K transmissions (V.90), this

modem is capable of 56 Kbps downloads.

However, due to varying line conditions, the

actual speeds you experience may be lower.

Uploads from users to server equipment travel at

speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analogue phone line

compatible with the V.90 standard and an

Internet provider or corporate host site

compatible with the V.90 standard are necessary

for these high-speed downloads. See

http://www.3com.com/56k for details.
