This software eliminates the need for a modem connection in outdated communication applications. By using a local TCP/IP network or the Internet, it saves the cost of purchasing new communication software.
Direct modem connections require physical modems to be installed on every PC involved in the data exchange. Additionally, a physical phone line must be used, which can be both time-consuming and costly, especially for long-distance calls. This method of transfer is also not secure, leaving data vulnerable to hackers with access to remote phone line scanners.
In contrast, using TCP/IP networks allows for the use of VPNs, SSH, or other secure tunnels to maintain privacy and security. The benefits of TCP/IP over direct modem connections are tremendous, but how can you make the transition without investing thousands in new software?
Luckily, Virtual Modem from FabulaTech is an affordable and effective solution. This program creates virtual modems that use the local network or the internet, eliminating the need for physical phone lines.
Using Virtual Modem is easy; the virtual modems are accessible to any application that previously used a direct modem connection. Setup is no different than setting up a physical modem - just select a virtual COM port in your communication application settings. The application can control the virtual modem directly or via TAPI.
Virtual Modem also includes an "Address Book," which allows for transparent translation of phone numbers to IP addresses. This feature saves time and effort, as phone numbers in your communication programs don't need to be changed; just add them to the Address Book.
In conclusion, Virtual Modem is an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution for upgrading from direct modem connections to TCP/IP networks. It eliminates the need for physical modems and phone lines while maintaining the same level of control over communication programs. The Address Book feature further simplifies the transition by allowing for phone number to IP address translation without requiring program changes.
