Term: Modem

A device that allows a computer to connect to and communicate over telephone lines with another computer that is also connected to a modem. This is how most people connect to the Internet; although high-speed connections such as DSL and cable Internet are becoming more popular. The modem converts computer language to a language that can be transmitted over ordinary telephone lines. It also decodes the language back to computer language when the message arrives.
