"The word MODEM is an acronym for MOdulator-DEModulator. Modems accept
digital data supplied by the local PC, and convert it to a modulated
analog wave form that can be transmitted over the phone line. And
conversely, modems also accept a modulated analog wave from the
telephone line, convert it to a digital form, and pass it on to the
local PC."

This is the way I understood a modem to operate and how the name modem came to be.
