Abstract

The present method (200,300, 400) and device (500, 600, 700) modify phase two of the format set forth in the V.34 Recommendation of the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector to prevent premature disconnection of calls between a call modem and an answer modem. The method and device efficiently ensure connection of the call for high speed data transmission over voiceband channels, by modification of one of: a phase preliminary to phase one and phase two. One implementation, in the answer modem, includes transmitting a signal having first information, followed by a Signal S comprising of aguard tone and a signal S1, wherein an energy of a predetermined guard tone is greater than an energy of a predetermined range of frequencies of the Signal S1; and continuing transmitting and receiving in accordance with the modified V.34 operation.
