German term or phrase: Speicher/Eingangsspeicher
I posted " Speicher " and " Eingangsspeicher before seperately but am not convinced the solution has been found. Since I have gotten new insights since I have decided to do so again and to be as thorough as possible. The text where these two terms appears follows :

"Das U.S. Robotics 56K Professional Message Modem von 3Com ist ein wirklicher
Alleskönner! Sie erhalten ein topaktuelles 56K-Modem mit integriertem Speicher für Voiceund
Faxempfang, ein Komfort-Freisprechtelefon und einen leistungsstarken Digital-
Anrufbeantworter.
Der Clou: Das Universaltalent verfügt über 6 Bedientasten, die eine vollständige Steuerung
bei ausgeschaltetem PC ermöglicht.
Das "U.S. Robotics 56K Professional Message Modem" ist für die neue 56K-Technologie
V.90 optimiert. Es wird mit 3Com's x2-Technik ausgeliefert und läßt sich dann nach
Veröffentlichung der V.90-Firmware kostenlos auf den ITU-T-Standard updaten. Bekanntlich
haben sich die führenden Modemhersteller mittlerweile endlich auf einen gemeinsamen
Standard geeinigt.
Der integrierte Eingangsspeicher ermöglicht das Empfangen von gut 70 Seiten Fax und 20
Minuten Sprachnachrichten in bester Qualität auch bei ausgeschaltetem PC.Diese
Nachrichten lassen sich wie bei einem Digital-Anrufbeantworter ebenso komfortabel abhören.
Der PC ist dafür nicht notwendig. Auch Freisprech-Telefonate lassen sich autark durchführen.
Die von 3Com's U.S. Robotics Voice-Modems gewohnte Freisprechfunktion "Speakerphone"
hat sich somit zum Komforttelefon gemausert. "

The word " speicher " must mean memory. I am not sure about " Eingangsspeicher though. It was suggested that it is " entry buffer" and the following website would confirm that ( http://www.imagingsolutions.ch/index.php?article_id=135&clan... ). It has an English version aswell which gives " Eingangsspeicher " as " entry buffer".

However, that makes no sense to me. The text refers to the already mentioned " speicher" ( memory" and that one can retrieve faxes from it. The following two websites are product descriptions. The first is German, talking about the "Eingangsspeicher", the second talks about flash memory in the same context. I think it must mean either memory or flash memory or maybe input memory?
I have a feeling that "Speicher" and "Eingangsspeicher" are the same thing but they used a different word for some reason.

German website ( http://www.computerwoche.de/heftarchiv/1997/36/1101006/ )
English website ( http://reviews.cnet.com/search-results/usrobotics-56k-profes... )

At the end of the text the word " Eingangspeicher" is mentioned again in the following sentence :
" Funktionen bei eingeschaltetem PC : · Abruf der Faxnachrichten aus dem Eingangsspeicher "

I am really stuck on this with a deadline fast approaching. I realise this is a longer than usual description, and I am not sure if I am allowed to post a question twice.
I would be very very grateful if someone could explain this to me.

memory/hard disk memory
Explanation:
I just recently had my hard disk memory booster by a supplementary memory. The dealer spoke of the hard disk memory as "Eingangsspeicher" as it was built into the computer. The supplementary was just that, Zusatzspeicher. Maybe this helps......?

Sorry I can't give you more point. I said " initial memory" in the end, if you are interested.
