Abstract
According to the invention, for connections between terminals connected to different networks, the terminals intended for connection to the network having the higher capacity are so equipped that, alternatively (I, II), they could also operate at the network having the lower capacity. In these terminals as well as at the interface between the two networks, simple network interface devices (30, 60) are inserted which insert and extract the filler bits in a suitable manner.
