Built-in modems were more-or-less standard equipment on home computers sold from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. These modems range from hardware-based units similar to serial modems, to softmodems that depend on the host computer's processing power to function, sometimes to the detriment of reliability and quality.
I've had twenty-two such modems sitting in a box for a few years. In this video we will look at each one, and fully test it by calling other modems within my internal telephone network, as well as calling a BBS over a VoIP telephone line. For the 56K modems, I will call a 56K-capable dial-up access gateway. The results seen herein show a vast range of quality from one modem to the next.
