MART Modular Technologies PCI Host-Accelerated Modem offers the latest in
flexibility and compatibility in a standard form factor modem. Its high level of
integration offers a low-cost, high-performance, low-power, full-featured modem
utilizing a PC host CPU for the ultimate Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, XP, or Windows NT 4.0
solution. The modem is designed to take advantage of the Agere (formerly Lucent Technologies)
Mars 3 chipset's integrated PCI interface which allows it to have efficient access to host PC
system resources. In conjunction with the host PC, it implements V.90/V.92 technology, which
allows PC users to achieve Internet connection rates approaching 56 kbits/s with backward
compatibility to existing V.34 modems. It also supports video-ready interface, high-speed data
modes (V.34 extended rates and fallbacks), and Class 1 FAX capabilities.
The SMART internal modem provides the optimal parallel interface because it connects directly
with the host PC's PCI bus. This eliminates the 16550 UART bottleneck. This chip set offers
an on-chip PCI interface that supports both slave and master operation. The DSP hardware
performs MIPS-intensive operations, such as V.92, V.34, and V.32 modulation, while the host
performs other less MIPS-intensive functions, such as V.42bis. A host-based controller modem
has the benefit of utilizing more powerful CPUs as they become available, as well as access to
the system's RAM and disk space. Users can therefore be updated in the field, as code simply
resides on the disk. Even with its superior performance, SMART's internal modem CPU usage
is virtually the same as that of a conventional modem.
