You built it; that's so cute... Son; these concepts were in place before either of us realized that TV was new to the world. No argument about the distinction between bridge and modem. I *thought* we were arguing about: - the definition for "modem" - the use of analog vs. digital signaling over PSTN lines. BTW, don't let monikers confuse you; "Digital Subscriber Line" does not translate to "digital signal over PSTN lines". My daughter's phone number is 1-800-382-5633. ..and now back to our as-yet-incomplete challenge, already in progress.. -------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Thor (Hammer of God) [mailto:thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 12:07 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: Think outside the GUI challenge #1 http://www.ISAserver.org It may be "your" old neighborhood, but I build the playground... You're not that much older than I am, and certainly not better looking... So, how about provide some pre-1960 reference to the term "modem" where it is not used as a device to convert digital data to an analog signal over phone lines?? Even your reference point for DSL says so: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/modem1.htm And now we're getting further away from the point-- a bridge is NOT a signal processor or converter- it is simply an 802.1d layer 2 Ethernet connector between interfaces. DSL is a "digital" subscriber line that just uses the PSTN media, but not the same bandwidth as PSTN voice. The data is not passed as an "analog" wave. The *real* fact is that even in the land of PSTN, most switches are now all digital even for voice. I think we are slowly moving away from the point... If you want to get right down to it, it's ALL analog in regard to electromagnetic radiation-- we could go on forever here... so, just put a clamp on that gap of yours and give me your daughter's phone number, OK??? :-ppppppppppp t ----- "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Harrison" <Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 11:18 PM Subject: [isalist] Re: Think outside the GUI challenge #1 http://www.ISAserver.org Like I said before - you're playing in my old neighborhood here... The term "modem" was defined and in use long before the computer industry got ahold of it and the term correctly applies to DSL devices that allow As with the Hayes (and compatible) modems, DSL modems convert digital data to analog signals using audio modulation techniques. CAT5 == digital signaling; PSTN == analog signaling. You need a modem to "bridge" the two. Whether you (dis)like the term "audio", the fact remains that PSTN is analog & CAT5 is digital; neither devices can understand the other signal type. -------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Thor (Hammer of God) [mailto:thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 7:03 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: Think outside the GUI challenge #1 http://www.ISAserver.org Today, yes. Originally, no. The "modem" was specifically designed to convert digital data into an analog wave as the carrier over PSTN's (and the reverse process). There was no "modem" application for DSL, Radio, etc. The "modem" was specifically invented just for that purpose (I'll let you research the history of "modem" on your own ;) Today, the term is obviously used in more general terms, hence the existence of this thread. But that was the basis of my original point- that it is not a "modem" in the original sense of the word or device. Q: How many legs does an elephant have if you call the trunk a leg? A: Four. Calling the "trunk" a "leg" changes nothing. And not to pick nits, but if you can't hear it, it's not "audio." Audio, by it's very definition and Latin origin means "I hear." You know how pedantic I am... I just had to clear up that it's not "audio" and it's not a "modem." Is it a carrier signal based on modulation? You bet. Is it a modem sending audio signals?

Let's not confuse "Hayes" with "modem". A "modem" (Modulator / Demodulator) is nothing more than a signal translation device, regardless of its intended application (DSL, dial-up access, AM radio, etc.) - In the MODulation function, it uses a baseband signal (CAT5 in this case) to modify one or more aspects (phase, frequency, amplitude) of a carrier signal in a predefined manner. - In the DEModulator function, it performs a reverse process, extracting the baseband signal from the modified carrier signal. Here's a reasonably decent discussion on how DSL signals are propagated: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dsl4.htm It's not "audible" audio, but it is audio, nonetheless... -------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Thor (Hammer of God) [mailto:thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 5:47 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: Think outside the GUI challenge #1 http://www.ISAserver.org It depends on your definition of "audio." If you mean that the signaling is based on square waves of a fixed high and low amplitude at a particular frequency being interpreted as a digital signal, then OK. But if you are defining DSL's"audio" nature as the modulation of electromagnetic signals into true "sound" (which is what a modem does) by creating signals of amplitude, frequency and phase represented in the form of the typical trigonometric sine and cosine wave (analog), then I must respectfully disagree. t ----- "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Harrison" <Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 4:55 PM Subject: [isalist] Re: Think outside the GUI challenge #1 http://www.ISAserver.org Ok, smarty-pants.
