Abstract
A communication system implements a system for reducing the processing burden associated with detecting an escape sequence in a set of data. The quantity of data contained within the modem's data buffer is intermittently compared to a threshold. While the quantity of data remains above a selected threshold, the data is not checked for an escape sequence. If the quantity of data falls below the threshold, the modem initiates an escape sequence detection procedure. Because the data source waits for a confirmation signal from the modem after sending the escape sequence, additional data will not be received in the data buffer. Thus, the escape sequence is typically among the most recently received data in the data buffer. As the modem processes the data in the buffer, the quantity falls below the threshold, activating the escape sequence detection procedure.
