Applications

Internal PCI fax modem cards like the HP 5184-3448 were standard equipment in desktop PCs throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, providing dial-up internet access and PC-based fax send/receive capability over the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The dual RJ-11 jacks allow the card to be wired in-line with a telephone handset — the LINE jack connects to the wall outlet and the PHONE jack passes through to a desk phone. The DB-25 parallel port on the bracket made these combo cards popular in HP and compaq-era business desktops where a single slot served both modem and printer connectivity. This card remains useful today for legacy systems requiring dial-up or analog fax capability, software-based fax servers, or applications in industrial and building-automation environments where analog PSTN lines are still in use.
