A Modem connects a computer to a telephone line. It converts computer code to audible sounds (Modulates), so that data can be sent over a conventional telephone line. It also picks up the data sounds and converts it back into code (Demodulates). Providing two way data transmission over telephone lines. Modem stands for Moduator demodulator.
