Gateway 6001260 56K Data Fax Voice PCI Modem Card 00-385-535894

The Gateway 6001260 is an internal 56K data/fax/voice modem on a standard PCI card, designed for desktop PCs. It uses a Conexant controller chipset and connects to a standard phone line via two RJ-11 jacks on the I/O bracket — one for the line and one for a pass-through telephone. The black shielded module on the card is the DAA (Data Access Arrangement), which handles the analog phone line interface.

Applications

56K dial-up PCI modem cards like the Gateway 6001260 were standard equipment in desktop PCs from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s, when dial-up was the predominant form of home internet access. They support the V.90 and/or V.92 modem standards for downstream speeds up to 56 Kbps, plus V.34/V.32bis for legacy compatibility, and typically include Class 1/Class 2 fax and voice capabilities for fax software and answering-machine applications. Today these cards are still used in niche roles: connecting to older dial-up services, fax-only applications in business and medical environments, sending faxes over POTS lines without a dedicated fax machine, and legacy industrial or point-of-sale systems that require a dial-up modem for communication. Gateway OEM modem cards are also sought for system restoration and replacement in period-correct Gateway desktop builds.
