Abstract
In a modem pooling system for enabling selective connection of a plurality of data terminal units 5.sub.1 to 5.sub.n to a modem 9, each of the data terminal units 5.sub.1 to 5.sub.n is detected as to whether active or inactive; one data terminal (e.g. 5.sub.1) is selected as a responsive terminal unit from among the data terminal units determined to be active in accordance with a predetermined priority order; and the modem 9 is connected to the selected responsive terminal unit (e.g. 5.sub.1), prior to an incoming call response of the modem 9.
