A signal processing system which discriminates between voice signals and data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier. The signal processing system includes a voice exchange, a data exchange and a call discriminator. The voice exchange is capable of exchanging voice signals between a switched circuit network and a packet based network. The signal processing system also includes a data exchange capable of exchanging data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier on the switched circuit network with unmodulated data signal packets on the packet based network. The data exchange is performed by demodulating data signals from the switched circuit network for transmission on the packet based network, and modulating data signal packets from the packet based network for transmission on the switched circuit network. The call discriminator is used to selectively enable the voice exchange and data exchange.

A system and method for detecting and removing tones from an incoming communications channel that may also carry other signals such as, for example, voice is disclosed which includes pre-detecting tones in a communication signal, processing the communication signal to invalidate the tones in response to the tone pre-detection, forwarding the processed communication signal across a network, validating the tone and forwarding tone-on signals across the network in response to the validation.
