The UMC 14400 bps Modem refers to a 14.4 kbps (kilobits per second) modem produced by UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation), a semiconductor company. Modems like this were popular in the 1990s for dial-up internet connections, offering a speed of 14,400 bits per second. While these modems have long since been obsolete due to the advent of broadband internet, they may still be used in legacy systems or in specific cases where dial-up connectivity is required (e.g., rural areas, remote systems, or for faxing purposes).

The UMC 14400 bps Modem Windows driver is the software that allows Windows to communicate with the hardware of the modem, enabling it to work correctly with your computer. It essentially acts as a bridge between the operating system and the modem hardware.
