Computer Terms Glossary
Another device, called a modem, also serves to both input and output data.  A modem is a communication device allowing data and information to travel along telephone lines, across special lines called DSL lines, across cable lines and even through the air (known as wireless) to other computers and devices.  Modems can be found inside the system unit or outside connected to a port on the system unit.  Wireless modems are not physically connected at all.
