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!

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.

PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE:

The V.42 error correction and V.42bis data compression ensure data
integrity at any speed. 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.

INFORMATION:

The IM19200/SA19200 modems will be a proprietary speed, however when

the CCITT approves a 19.2 Kbps, this modem will be able to be configured
via the FORVAL-LINK (tm) to be fully compatible with the new standard.
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 "
