NOTES: (1) DIGITAL SVD [DSVD] - Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data allows

           simultaneous voice and data conversations over one line at the

           same time.  Improves collaborative working, remote support and

           on line gaming.



       (2) SUPER SECURE - Random rotation of the DES Encryption keys allows

           improved security for DES users.  (NetComm has developed a "pseudo

           mechanical" method of generating random numbers to avoid patterns

           developing over time.)



       (3) ENHANCED SECURITY - More features for even greater security...

              * Larger Security Database - up to 600 users may be entered

                to allow system administrators to enter individual accounts

                for each user rather than general accounts.

              * Download and Upload Security Database - allow systems with

                several SmartModems to easily use the same Security Database

              * Outdial Disable - modem can receive calls only.  Users that

                attempt to dial out will get a "SECURITY LOCKOUT"
response.

              * Dial Stored Phone Numbers Only - restricts dialing to the

                Stored Numbers (up to 10) only.

              * Enhanced DES Key management - see "Super Secure" above.

              * Encryption Parameters/Keys Lock

              * Password Expiry



       (4) X.32 - X.32 upgrade kit available separately



>      (*) 5 Year Warranty
