Thread, Article...Digicom Systems' Modem Blaster Now Compliant with 56K - V.90 - Standard and K56flex April 2, 1998 MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Digicom Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology, Ltd., announced that its popular Modem Blaster Flash 56 Series is now compliant with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) V.90 standard in addition to K56flex. The new standard enables universal compatibility and provides fast and easy Internet access. Since its introduction last October, Modem Blaster has continued to gain popularity. Modem Blaster Flash 56 is one of the first modems to support both the ITU V.90 standard and K56flex technology. The V.90 standard, which is expected to be quickly adapted for applications such as Internet and on-line service access, will provide maximum performance when "surfing the net " or downloading files and playing audio/video over the Internet. Additionally, Modem Blaster's flash memory allows continuous upgrades by simply downloading through the Internet. "Modem Blaster Flash 56 is one of the first modems to support the new V.90 ITU standard as well as K56flex," said Raj Johal, Marketing Director at Digicom Systems. "The ITU upgrade, coupled with our one-of-a-kind Sound Blaster interface reinforces Digicom's position as an industry leader by offering consumers one of the most technologically-advanced modems." The exclusive Sound Blaster interface allows direct connection to the award-winning Sound Blaster sound card, thus offering users a truly superior sound experience. The Modem Blaster Flash 56 model DI5601 also incorporates an array of features including: -- Full duplex speaker phone -- Professional answering machine with multiple mailboxes -- V.80 Video Conferencing interface -- DTE speeds up to 230Kbps -- Caller ID To protect customers' investments, Digicom will offer a free V.90 software upgrade beginning in April to any customer who has purchased a previous version 56K modem from the Modem Blaster series. Digicom ensures this smooth upgrade path can be downloaded from their website: www.digicomsys.com. Modem Blaster's features have been designed to maximize performance and minimize the cost of ownership. It is compatible with Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 3.x.
