Abstract

Telephone set arrangement designed to be used as a computer terminal. It has a first call generator transmitting call pulse trains and a second call generator transmitting call multifrequency signals. During the call, the two kinds of call signals are transmitted simultaneously. After completion of the call, the supply current is reversed as usual. The current reversal is detected and the pulse train generator is then blocked. Any transmission of signals after completion of the call is then made only in the form of multifrequency signals.
