The jack for an analog phone line (the "regular" kind, where you could plug in a $10 phone and hear a dial tone) looks EXACTLY the same as the jack for a digital phone line, such as would be used in a business. They LOOK identical, but the line voltage and the signaling are completely different. Phones, modems, etc. that are designed to work with analog lines will not work, and can be damaged, if they're plugged into digital lines.
Digital Line Detect (DLG.EXE) is a program that's included with the modem driver software in most Windows notebooks (and some other computers.) It runs in the background, making sure you don't plug your modem into a digital line. If you do, it shuts down the modem to prevent damage and pops up a warning message.
If you're sure you won't be making that mistake, you can prevent Digital Line Detect from starting every time Windows boots up. It won't hurt anything.
Also - DLG.EXE is sometimes flagged as spyware, because the company that produces it also produced some spyware in the past. DLG.EXE itself is safe - but, as I said, you don't need it if you don't plug your modem into unfamiliar jacks.

What Is a Computer modem made of?
A computer modem is made up of various components including a modulator, demodulator, analog-to-digital converter, digital-to-analog converter, signal processor, and a connection interface such as Ethernet or phone line. These components work together to modulate digital data from the computer into analog signals for transmission over a communication medium and then demodulate received analog signals back into digital data for interpretation by the computer.

What is a modems purpose?
1. To MODULATE (convert) the digital signals from a computer into analogue signal to enable it to be carried through the telephone line. 2. To DEMODULATE (convert back) analogue signals from a telephone line into digital signal to be used in computer.
Why do you use modem?
modem means modulator demodulator. it converts digital signal to analog signal. it is use to transmit computer signal (digital signal) over the telephone line to communicate to other computers. modem converts the computer digital signal into frequency (analog signal) so that it can transmit over the telephone line and at the receiving end the modem converts the analog signal back to digital for the receiving computer to understand it.
Why is MODEM a necessary component of many data communication system?
because internet that comes down a telephone line are analogue signals and the computer on understands digital signals ( 1 and 0s , Machine code, binary) so the modem translates the analogue signals from the phone line to digital and translates digital signals from the computer to analogue
