Abstract

A method is disclosed for enhancing communication setup between a communication station and a telecommunications network. An initial setup communication from the communication station is transmitted at a normal data rate and the response from the telecommunications network is utilized to selectively enable transmission at a higher data rate for subsequent communications. Additionally, requested communication parameters are compared to previously utilized parameters which have been stored. Communication is established by setting only those parameters which do not match previously stored parameters. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a selected data call number is stored at the telecommunications network and automatically invoked by the communication station in response to the establishment of communication.
