Abstract

The modem of this invention is capable of direct connection to a communication Host associated with a mainframe computer which uses a bisynchronous (bisync) protocol so that the Host believes a valid terminal is continuously connected regardless of whether the modem is online or offline. This permits communications to be established with the mainframe over the public switched telephone network.
