Microsoft Windows logo. The PCI modem will be qualified later. The logo is targeted at

commercially marketed desktop applications that run on the latest released versions of Windows

95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation. It is not intended for client/server or Windows

NT Server applications. The goals of the logo certification program are to improve Windows

hardware and software quality, increase end-user satisfaction, and reduce support costs.

To receive the logo, a product must show proof of compatibility with Windows 95/98 and NT. The

SM56 Software Modem passed the stringent tests to show that, among other capabilities, it:

•

Installs and registers itself properly with the operating system

•

Is reliably functional and stable

•

Removes itself (minus its core components) using an automated uninstaller

•

Supports Universal Naming Conventions (UNC) and Long File Names (LFN)

The modem also passed a host of other performance and feature-set tests of its data, fax, and voice

modes.

What does the logo mean for the SM56 ISA modem? It means that Motorola and its OEMs, system

integrators, and VARs can now use the Windows logo on their products and packaging, and on

advertising, collateral, and marketing materials. This signals end users that the SM56 software

modem is tested and fully functional on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0; that it is designed

to provide optimum usability and compatibility; and that it takes advantage of the latest

technologies provided by these operating systems. It makes users feel more comfortable about

purchasing the product, and it assures them of more complete satisfaction while using it.

The Windows logo also means that the SM56 software modem is included on Microsoft's Windows

Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) under "Logo," reinforcing to customers and end-users alike

that it meets Microsoft's strict requirements and operates properly with Windows operating

systems.

In summary, Windows Logo certification increases recognition and adoption of SM56 Software

Modem technology worldwide. It demonstrates Motorola's long-term commitment to providing high

performance, quality products.

An Overview of the V.90 Standard Protocol

In February 1998, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) formulated the V.90

industry-standard protocol for 56K modems. Before the adoption of the V.90 standard, 56K

modems complied with one of two pre-standard implementations: K56flex or X2 technology.

Unfortunately for ISPs and end-users, these technologies were not compatible. ISPs had to worry

about which standard to employ. End users had to be sure to purchase modems compatible with

their ISP's equipment.

Upgrading Motorola's SM56 K56flex modems to V.90 is a software-only upgrade. There is no

change to the line interface hardware. This makes it easy for pre-V.90 users to upgrade their

system to V.90 compliance.
