Sometimes they are modems, but the error detection/correction logic is done by the driver and main cpu, instead of some kind of cpu in the modem.
A true modem doesn't have an on-board CPU. Not even 56k modems using frequency, amplitude, and phase shifting. There are hybrid digital/analog ICs (integrated circuits) which dothis right from the factory, needing only connectivity to power, a few external discreet elements (resistors, capacitors and/or crystals.
Some are flasheable, like mine. That usually implies a flash memory and cpu of some kind, even if part of a dedicated chip. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
