important features. It also includes a brief description of the communications

software Classic PhoneTools of BVRP* and the firewall and anti-virus soft-

ware Norman Internet Control*.

1.1 Features

The MicroLink 56k PCI card for the PCI bus supports all modern data commu-

nications applications: Internet downloads at up to 56,000 bps, sending and

receiving faxes and home banking are just as easy to use as e-mail or home

shopping. The use of the PCI bus ensures ease of installation with true

plug&play.

Your MicroLink 56k PCI card also supports the following features of the V.92

standard:

Much faster initiation of dial-up connections

The dial-up sequences to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) are tempora-

rily saved in quick connect to speed up the establishment of a new con-

nection.

V.44 data compression

Data throughput can be increased by a factor of six, e. g. when downloa-

ding web sites.

Please note that your telcommunications and Internet service provider must

offer the V.92 standard before you can use these features with your

MicroLink 56k PCI!

mon types of malware are viruses, worms, and trojans. For the sake of sim-

plicity, we often use the term virus as a collective description.

trol checks files when they are accessed, and possible viruses are removed

automatically. If Norman Internet Control is unable to clean an infected file,
