From the Subject header, the OP is asking about DGC and ACM. Chang didn't
bother to give specific examples of each.

Asking a question in a subject line without also repeating it in
the body of the post is considered bad form because many people
don't read the subject lines and the subject lines rarely have
anything to do with what is actually being discussed.

"It is illuminating for purposes of reflection, if not for
argument, to note that one of the greatest 'fictions' of our
federal system is that the Congress exercises only those powers
delegated to it, while the remainder are reserved to the States or
to the people. The manner in which this Court has construed the
Commerce Clause amply illustrates the extent of this fiction.",

Personally I would think that if he wanted other users to understand his
question that he would have provided examples of the types of analog modems
he was asking about. Those acronyms have multiple meanings. I can guess at
which ones might be associated with analog modems but that tells me about a
group related to specifications or a manufacturer's name but that says
nothing about what protocols or specifications might differentiate them.
