20.2 Books
I've been unable to find a good up-to-date book on modems.
- The Complete Modem Reference by Gilbert Held, 1997. Contains too much info about obsolete topics. More up-to-date info may be found on the Internet.

- The Modem Technical Guide by Douglas Anderson, 1996.
- Ultimate Modem Handbook by Cass R. Lewart, 1998.

20.5 Old Modem Database on Internet
Rob Clark had a huge database of modems but it doesn't seem to have been maintained since 2003. The website URLs have changed many times. Right now (mid 2006), it seems that only these two mirrors work:
Modem List mirror1
Modem List mirror2
