- The term modem comes from MOdulate and DEModulate. Hence, MODEM.

- When connected by modem, what you're sending is modulated and sent over a carrier.

- The receiving modem demodulates the information.

- Whether it's a text-based chat or a file transfer, the modem handles the data in the same way.

- Modems convert the data and send it on carriers in a stream, then demodulate data that's received.
