The PCIe Soft Data Fax SoftRing Modem with SmartCP is a type of software-based modem that typically connects to your computer via a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) slot. This modem was designed to support data, fax, and voice communication over traditional telephone lines, using a combination of hardware and software components. The "SoftRing" refers to the software-based ring detection (for incoming calls) and the "SmartCP" refers to the Smart Communication Platform, a technology used to optimize modem functionality, especially in terms of fax and data transmissions.

Like most modems, the PCIe Soft Data Fax SoftRing Modem requires a specific driver to function properly on a Windows system. The driver enables Windows to recognize the modem, allows you to use it for tasks like dial-up internet, faxing, or telephone-based services, and helps ensure compatibility with your system.
