This is a modem. It function like today modem. Your PC - model - line to outer world.

The line to outerworld nowaday is fiber optic cable. Long ago, we use phone line. A bit more years back then, we put the whole "handset" to the modem so our modem can "talk" to server using machine language, in voice (boop beep boop beep)

Does anyone know who "Ma" is supposed to be with her dumbly designed 212a? Is that Bell, or which company are they taunting in this ad? Couldn't find anything on the web.
