Abstract

In this data communication system, data communication is conducted through transmission lines between a plurality of stations. At each station, the presence of data to be sent is detected, the length of the detected data is measured, and that that station is disconnected from the transmission lines when the length of data exceeds a predetermined value, to inhibit the sending of data from that station.
