A modem (stands for modulator-demodulator) is a device that allows a computer to use a telephone line to communicate with other computers. The fastest modem is 56kbs (56,000 bytes per second). This is a limitation of the phone lines, not of hardware.
Modems are rarely used because cable or DSL have replaced them because of speed.
