Abstract

Disclosed is a data telecommunications system and method in which at least one modem which, capable of operating at a variety of transmission speeds, selects the proper speed at which to operate. An initiating modem capable of operating at a plurality of operating speeds compares the maximum operating speed of a receiving modem, and if a match is found, operation begins at that operating speed. If no match is found, operation begins at a default transmission speed.
