Question 3

A gateway is like a modem.

Answer

False

Reason — A gateway is not like a modem because it connects dissimilar networks. It establishes an intelligent connection between a local network and external networks with completely different structures. On the other hand, a modem modulates digital data from the sender computer into analog form to travel over the telephone lines to the target computer and demodulates received analog data into digital form for the target computer.
