Description:
The only major difference between the two is the cost. Synchronous modems
will work a little faster than asynchronous modems. But, because of the
difference in the prices of the two, you will find that most BBSes use
asynchronous communications.
Modems that send random information need start and stop bits to let
them know when one piece of information stops and the next piece of
information begins. This kind of informaiton is referred to as
"asynchronous".
