Abstract
A terminal connected to a data communication system and has an output device such as a printer or display and has a memory. The terminal stores the handshaking information received by the terminal from the data communication system as a communication session is established, translates the stored handshaking information into a suitable format for the output device, and supplies the translated data to the output device to inform the operator of the nature of the data communication system.
