Abstract
The present invention provides a method for padding to maximize the number of characters transmitted by data communication equipment (DCE), such as a modem, to data terminal equipment (DTE). By employing the disclosed padding method the data throughput will be maximized and costs will be reduced by transmitting packets with a greater amount of characters. The present invention further provides a method for providing access to a control channel to invoke gateway functions to send qualified information from a DTE user to a remote system. Also a method to provide security by allowing private strings and passwords saved in a modem's stored dial strings. Additionally, a method for scrolling the DTE's screen to enhance readabilty and to provide compatability with standard terminal packages available on the market. Related apparatus is also revealed.
