New Modem announced for PlayStation 2
If you are the proud owner of a PlayStation 2 you will be pleased to know that a new USB modem is being released for it. One cool design feature of the PS2 is its use of Universal Serial Bus technology. USB is a connection that is commonly used in the desktop computer world for devices such as mice, scanners and modems. That same technology can be used to allow your PlayStation 2 to connect to the Interent

This Viaggio ME56PS2 modem will be K56Flex and V.90 compatible and will have a transfer rate of 56 Kbps. This is currently the fastest transfer rate possible using an analogue modem. The modem will come bundled with Web-browsing and e-mail software. The Internet is the largest source of information that we have available to us and is revolutionising the way we communicate and educate. The Internet is also fantastic for entertainment and this modem will allow users to play games against each other.

There are currently two PlayStation 2 games that are offering support for this new USB modem and they are Konami’s Age of Empire 2 and Taito’s Battle Gear 2. This number is certain to grow once the modem is released.
