  • Monitoring line conditions in the data transmission mode
    Patent number: 6374375
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for allowing a modem transmitting data in the data mode to initiate retraining mode due to changing line conditions. The modem inserts a test signal within the data received from a computer system. The data and test signal are encoded and sent over a network to a second modem. The second modem compares the test signal with a standard test signal, and if the test signal received is different from the standard test signal, the second modem initiates retraining of the modems to adjust for the varying line conditions.
