Softmodem
A
softmodem
(
soft
ware
modem
) is a
modem
with minimal hardware that uses
software
running on the host computer, and the computer's resources (especially the
central processing unit
,
random access memory
, and sometimes
audio processing
), in place of the hardware in a conventional modem. Softmodems are sometimes called
winmodems
because the first ones worked only on
IBM PC compatible
computers with a
Microsoft Windows
operating system
.
