You don't have to choose between good conversation and fast data transmission when using your telephone for both. The Diamond SupraExpress 336 SP with ASVD (analog simultaneous voice and data) fax modem uses AudioSpan technology to let you talk and share data simultaneously over a single analog telephone line.
The modem transmits at up to 33.6Kb per second, the fastest modem speed available. The SupraExpress 336 SP also has a built-in speakerphone.
Bundled software includes Thought Communications' FaxTalk Messenger, VDONet's VDOPhone for videoconferencing over ordinary phone lines, Databeam's FarSite for application sharing, and Internet packages with free online time. The modem's telephony features allow you to dial into your computer to pick up voice messages from a Touch-tone phone. Like all Diamond Supra 33.6Kbps modems, the SupraExpress 336 SP supports V.80, the new ITV standard for the synchronous exchange of audio and video.
