Security : Black Box Series II 336

Manufacturer's description

Although they do it well, most modems do only one thing: Establish connections between standard PCs and standard kinds of remote resources across standard phone lines. This might be fine for a lot of applications, but is a plain-vanilla generic modem going to meet all of your professional communication needs? Is it going to be compatible with your operating system? With your computing hardware? With your leased line? With your sync equipment? The Series II Modems 336 probably are. They'll work in a regular Windows 95 or 98 environment. But they'll also cooperate with UNIX. In fact, they have patented circuitry that spoofs the UNIX to UNIX Copy Protocol (UUCP) for smooth, quick UNIX batch transfers. Yes, they work with PCs. But flip a switch and they're ready to be hooked up to an IBM AS/400. (By the way, the standalone Modems' physical controls are accessible from outside the unit, so you don't need to open them up just to reconfigure them.) Do you use some other kind of computer that requires synchronous communication? The Series II Modems will do sync or async all the way up to 33.6 kbps. In fact, even if your computer uses the old ENQ/ACK flow-control protocol, these Modems can handle it. And do you have any leased lines running between your sites? Forget using most standard modems on those - but the Series II Modems can all be connected to 2-wire leased lines with no problem.

The Series II Modems respond to a huge number of dialing and configuration commands (both the AT and the V.25 bis command sets). They can also be configured remotely, a process protected by two password levels. They support faxing, heavy phone-number and command-string storage, and flash firmware upgrades - in short, the Series II Modems are serious business.
