RocketModem II

The Comtrol RocketModem II is the first multimodem PCI card to offer industry-standard Rockwell V.90 modems, the ability to individually reset modems without rebooting, and a complete software suite, including monitoring, diagnostic, and troubleshooting software. These features, along with a lower price, outstanding reliability, and strict adherence to the PCI specification, make the RocketModem II the superior solution for faxing, remote access, and modem sharing when compared to other multimodem cards. When compared side by side to its closest competitor, the Digi Acceleport RAS modem card, the advantages of RocketModem become very apparent including a savings of over $50 per modem port!

Comtrol's RocketModem II product is available in both 4- and 6-port models.

* The eight-port connector on the Digi Acceleport violates the PCI specification for the length of the connector bracket. This means that the card may have problems fitting in some PCI slots and could contact components on the motherboard. For this reason, the Comtrol RocketModem II card is available with a maximum of six ports.
