MODEM stands for MOulator/DEModulator. It is a device that translates a data bit stream from a digital device into a modulation signal and modulates a carrier for transmission over wires. Since it can also receive data streams it must be able to demodulate the carrier and translate the modulated intelligence back into a data bit stream.
