Abstract
A modem which enables re-negotiation of the selected modem technology subsequent to the original negotiation which takes place at initiation of the modem connection. The invention includes means for one modem to interrupt data transfer and transmit a signal to the other modem indicating a request that a different modem technology be used. The request may be made as a result of changing line conditions, changing system demands, changing data transfer requirements, or other altered conditions under which the modems are operating. If the modem receiving the request accepts the request, both modems re-enter negotiation to select the best modem technology under the changed conditions. The modems are then re-trained to select the best bit rate within that technology under the existing line conditions. After the new modem technology and bit rate are selected, the modems resume transferring data.
