FORVAL MODEMS Super High-Speed, Internal / External, Dial-up Modems For IBM PC / Compatibles Forval's full-duplex IM / SA series of dial-up modems are quality engineered for super high-speeds. The IM14400 (Internal) at 14.4 kbps and the SA14400 (External) at 14.4 kbps are versatile full duplex V.32bis / V.42bis modems for personal computers with industry-standard speeds of 14400 / 12000 / 9600 / 4800 / 2400 / 1200 / 300 bps. These models offer data compression for throughput up to FOUR TIMES FASTER than the base speed and advanced error correction for exceptional accuracy. The IM Series is designed to expand its capabilities as your needs change. With the exclusive " FORVAL-LINK (tm) software, upgrades can be made in a matter of minutes over the phone line. With FORVAL, you have the MODEM-With-A-Future! FEATURES: -14.4 bps ( New V.32bis CCITT standard ) Fully compatible with all other brand v.32bis modems. -l9.2 bps Proprietary mode ( IM19200 / SA19200 models only. ) This code will be changed to be fully compatible with the CCITT standard when approved for 19.2 Kbps. * Super high speeds - up to 57.6 Kbps with data compression * All standard dial-up speeds- complies with both CCITT and Bell standards. Compatible with all major modems. * FORVAL LINK (tm) upgrades - download new features, speeds and capabilities over the phone. * FORVAL TURBO INTERFACE (tm) provides absolute data integrity between your PC and the IM14400 at all speeds. * Compatible with the Hayes (tm) "AT" command set and a wide range of communications software. * Built in self-test and diagnostics * The SA14400 has an LCD display providing complete insight into modem operations. Can be positioned horizontally or vertically. * 5 year warranty ( one of the few manufacturers that offer this ) INFORMATION: The IM14400 / SA14400 modems comply with the V.32bis standard for data transmission, V.42 error correction and V.42.bis, the newest data compression standard. By combining the latest industry standards with intelligent engineering, the asynchronous IM14400 / SA14400 deliver data at an impressive base speed of 14,400 bps. And the V.42bis provides a 4:1 data compression ratio with speeds exceeding 57.6Kbps-transmitting over six times faster than 9600 bps modems. COMPATIBILITY: When connecting with slower modems, the IM14400/SA14400 modems offer excellent compatibility and high data performance over a broad range of transmission speeds. Equipped with automatic step-down via CCITT standards, the IM14400/SA14400 ensure data transference at the highest levels of speed, compression and error correction possible. For custom modem configurations, the IM14400/SA14400 feature user- selectable options for setting speed rates, data compression levels and error handling methods. SOPHISTICATED ERROR CORRECTION AND HANDLING: When exchanging critical data at accelerated speeds, accuracy is imperative. With the IM14400/SA14400 modems, sophisticated error correction and data handling capability, data integrity is preserved under the worst line conditions. The built-in Turbo Interface on the IM14400 provides absolute data integrity at all speeds along with full flow control of remote modems. The SA14400 modem has the optional Turbo Interface Card that can be purchased to provide the same reliability as the Internal modem.

Sophisticated engineering and CCITT standards are built into the modems. The modems automatically negotiate CCITT standards when connecting with slower modems at fall-back speeds ranging from 14400, 12000, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200 to 300 bps. You can also set these levels manually. UPGRADES ARE JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY: With FORVAL-LINK (tm) software and a phone call to our headquarters, you can upgrade your modem instantly and maintain the technological edge. Costly obsolescence is virtually eliminated. SA19200 MODEMS Like all Forval stand-alone modems, the SA19200 can be adapted with a bookend base for use as a slimline tower. When desktop space is at a premium, this tower configuration has a footprint of only 16 square inches. Of course, you can also set it in the standard horizontal position.

Which means that when the standard is approved, this modem will not be obsolete. The IM14400/SA14400 modems are also fully capabable of being upgraded via the FORVAL-LINK (tm) to make them fully compatible at the 19.2 Kbps speeds. All these modems will also be able to be upgraded in the later part of this year to have FAX capabilities. Again by use of the FORVAL-LINK (tm) I guess it is easy to see why they say: " FORVAL MODEMS ARE THE MODEMS WITH A FUTURE " Contact Suburban Software BBS for pricing and availability: (708)636-6694 FORVAL IM14400 (Internal) (708)636-6695 FORVAL SA14400 (External) (708)636-6697 US Robotics DS
