Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and recovering from call waiting interference to data communications is disclosed. In a system wherein a first party communicates with a second party via a telecommunications link, the telecommunications link may be disrupted by a third party's attempt to call the first or second party. The present invention detects such a disturbance on the telecommunications line and allows the first or second party to answer the call from the third party. The invention re-establishes communications after the call with the third party is completed.

Abstract: A video game enhancement system for modifying and enhancing the operation of a video game is disclosed. The system includes: 1) a processor interface for coupling the video game enhancement system with a processor; 2) a memory interface for coupling the video game enhancement system with a first memory having executable game logic residing therein; 3) a second memory having executable enhancement logic residing therein; and 4) control logic including: a) logic for detecting an access to a patch address by the processor; b) logic for directing the processor to access an exception region in the second memory upon detection of the access to the patch address, the access to the exception region causing activation of an exception mode; and c) redirection logic for redirecting memory accesses by the processor from the first memory to the second memory for a plurality of memory accesses upon activation of the exception mode, the processor thereby executing a portion of the executable enhancement logic.
