Abstract: A first machine communicates with a second machine, using a protocol that sends the first machine's network configuration data in application data sent to the second machine, through a translating access point which translates network traffic from the first machine so as to originate from the access point. A network configuration server provides to the first machine network configuration data not subject to translation by the access point, which is sent to the second machine in the application data. The second machine communicates with the provided network configuration, and this communication is in turn made available to the first machine.

Abstract: A memory is coupled to a processor in the computer system to implement a modem with simultaneous voice and data capabilities. The modem comprises a communication port to couple the computer system to a phone line, and software in the memory. The memory comprises a first software component which, when executed on the processor, provides a data input to the physical communication port, and a second software component which, when executed on the processor, provides a voice input to the physical communication port. The first and second software components cooperate to enable simultaneous voice and data communication through the physical communication port.
