Explanation

Asynchronous communication is the basic language of modems and dial-up remote access systems. In asynchronous communication, data is transmitted one character at a time, with each character framed by start and stop bits to indicate the beginning and end of each transmission unit. There is no shared clock between sender and receiver. This method is well-suited for dial-up connections where data is sent intermittently and timing cannot be guaranteed, making it the foundation for traditional modem-based communications.
