The Smartmodem was a simple 300 bit/s modem using the Bell 103 signaling standards, but attached to a small controller that let the computer send commands to it to operate the phone line. Prior to the introduction of the Smartmodem modems had almost universally been setup and connected "by hand", evolving eventually to devices with two rubber cups on top into which a standard phone handset was inserted after dialling.
