Question

Modem is connected to :

• A. Port
• B. Printer port
• C. Parallel port
• D. COM port

Answer 1

Answer:

D. COM port

Serial ports (COM ports) or USB ports.

Historically, modems were connected to:

- Serial ports (COM1, COM2, etc.): Using RS-232 or RS-232C connectors.

- Parallel ports (LPT1, LPT2, etc.): Less common.

Nowadays, modems are often connected to:

- USB ports: Using USB-to-serial adapters or built-in USB modems.

Some modems may also connect via:

- Ethernet ports (RJ-45): For broadband or network connections.

- PCI or PCIe slots: For internal modems.

However, traditional dial-up modems usually require serial or USB connections.
