Ross

I believe the answer is:

modem

(Other definitions for modem that I've seen before include "Online connection device" , "Connector for computer to telephone line" , "Computer interface" , "Device to connect computers by a telephone line" , "Data to sound converter" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
