Best Answer

It's called a Modem which stands for Modulator/Demodulator. Modems take digital signals from the sending computer and convert these signals into Analog so they can be transmitted over wire (phone or cable).

On the receiving computer, the Analog signals are then converted back to Digital in order for the computer to decipher the information.
