A NIC is capable of receiving and transmitting data at a faster rate than a modem. However, if the NIC is connected to a network which is powered by a modem, they will both run at the slower speed of the modem.

A modem. However, there is a card that can connect computers trough telephone or cable television lines, too.
modem means modulator demodulator. it converts digital signal to analog signal. it is use to transmit computer signal (digital signal) over the telephone line to communicate to other computers. modem converts the computer digital signal into frequency (analog signal) so that it can transmit over the telephone line and at the receiving end the modem converts the analog signal back to digital for the receiving computer to understand it.
Do you mean Modem if so... Modem, short for modulator-demodulator is an electronic device that converts a computer's digital signals into specific frequencies to travel over telephone or cable television lines. At the destination, the receiving modem demodulates the frequencies back into digital data. Computers use modems to communicate with one another over a network.
A modem (Modulator-demodulator) is both. It allows you to input data (download) and output data (upload).

modem
A modem. Modem is short for mudulator/demodulator. Telephone lines use analog signals which your computer cannot interpret. When analog signals reach a modem however, they are converted to digital signals and then passed to the computer. When sending data, this process is reversed.
A modem is necessary for transmitting binary data over a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) because it converts digital signals from a computer into analog signals that can travel over the telephone lines. The PSTN is designed for voice communication, which uses analog signals, so the modem acts as a translator between the digital data and the analog format required by the network. Additionally, the modem ensures that the data can be reliably sent and received, handling modulation and demodulation processes effectively.

A modem (which stands for Modulator-Demodulator) converts digital data from the computer to analog data compatible with the telephone system. The analog signal is converted back into digital data on the other end of the call.
