FEATURE/BENEFIT ANALYSIS

                    VEN-TEL 9600 V.32 MODEMS

     Ven-Tel 9600 bps products are some of the most advanced
modems on the market today.  In addition to an excellent feature
set, they also come with a free, five-year warranty and toll-free
end user technical support.  Following are some of the reasons
why you should consider these products:

REMOTE CONFIGURATION

     The 9600 V.32 can be remotely configured via dial-up phone
lines from any location.  This provides for the isolation and
resolution of configuration problems with a phone call from
either your system manager or Ven-Tel tech support.  The way this
feature works is very simple.  After making a connection with the
unit that is to be configured, a few simple keystrokes will
enable access to the modem's local mode.  From that point, the
unit's option settings can be reviewed and configuration changes
made through the use of standard "AT" commands.  The modem is
again ready for use.

ACCESS SECURITY WITH CALLBACK

     This feature restricts remote modem users from accessing the
local system through the use of password security.  The 9600 bps
modems have the capacity to store up to fifty user ID numbers
with corresponding passwords, security access levels, and
callback numbers.  If access security has been enabled when a
call is answered, the 9600 modem will then request the caller's
password.  After the password is verified, the modem can
disconnect and place a return call to a predetermined location.
Three levels of security are provided - Standard Callback
(callback to a specific number), Programmed Callback (allows user
to enter their callback number) and Passthrough Access (no
callback).  Callback security is recommended when a system
manager does not want unauthorized users to be able to dial into
the host system and possibly obtain confidential data.

ERROR CORRECTION/DATA COMPRESSION

     All Ven-Tel 9600 modems use MNP4 and V.42 for error control.
MNP Level 5 and the new V.42bis standard are used for
compression.  Error-free data transmission is important where
integrity of data is critical, as in the financial industry.
Data compression is a method which allows modems to send data at
throughput rates much faster than their base transmission speed.
For example, the 9600 Plus can send data at speeds of up to
38,400 bps with V.42bis and 19,200 bps with MNP5.  This equates
to faster data transfer and lower phone cost.
