In the spirit of fun
IMHO it is better to keep to correct terminology when describing things
:-))
According to my dictionary...
mo.dem
n.
A device for transmitting usually digital data over telephone wires by
modulating the data into an audio signal to send it and demodulating an
audio signal into data to receive it.
I am mystified by the 'waves down coaxial cable' concept - unless we
consider a LED to be a modem because it modulates a digitial signal into
light waves....
Now can we please get on, and discuss the difference between
bits-per-second, and baud rate!
