Government Regulations. If you start to send an analog data signal that's faster then 56k through the phone lines you get bleed over. Which means that other peoples phone lines will start to get static.\n\nThere was faster then 56k modems in development, but they really where 56k, they just used compression so they could fit more data down the same lime. But when DSL and cable modems came out, nobody wanted to invest money making faster analog modems.

When you dial up a service provider your modem is communicating directly to a local carrier hub station that connects to the Internet. What you hear is data being transmitted, and being authenticated( sending your login and password and picking up a "key")via the Internet to your ISP. When this process is complete, you are connected directly from your PC to AOL or ISP and the WEB. Prior to connecting the "key" or token secures the connection by  assigning a specific IP address to your modem which also most of the time has a hardware identifier(MAC address) that acknowledges a physical point between PC and Server.\nThink of it as grocery shopping and returning back for more.

There are several kinds of modems.  Is it for broadband or dial up?  USB or PCI?  There is not enough information here to provide much guidance.  It is probably a simple thing like take old modem and replace it with new one.\n\nAssuming it is a card, (something that goes inside the computer) it is a simple method of removing the case, pulling out the old card, and putting in the new one.  You will be able to tell which one it is by the little telephone line opening that is on the card.  Swap it out.  Windows will make a good job of finding the card for you when you power your computer back up again.  If a CD came with it, there will be a driver on there you will need to use.  Try to follow the modem manual the best you can.  I hope none of this advice anyone gives you gets you electrocuted!

Well the operating system doesn't matter as long as each modem is working on the computer it is connected to.\n\nHowever, you probably can't simply copy some files a get it to work. It would have to be installed on the target computer so it is properly registered in that operating system.

it isn't international, but it is from the same root. originally there were a lot of separate computer networks, the internet was designed to tie them together. Thus "internet" means "across networks" like international means "across nations"

General consensus is that the term originates from a Monty Python skit.\n\nA couple are attempting to order breakfast at a restaurant where all the menu items feature spam. The woman doesn't like spam, and asks the waitress if they offer any spam free dishes. Alas - there is no escape from spam.\n\nMeanwhile a chorus of vikings at another table express their appreciation for spam by chanting "spam, spam, spam, lovely spam!"\n\nEventually any hope of meaningful communication is lost in the drone of "spam."\n\nSound Familiar?
