Abstract

The present invention pertains to a system for transmitting data. The system comprises a network on which free topology transmission of data occurs. The system comprises a first node. The system comprises a second node. The system comprises a shared free topology modem connected to the network and the first and second nodes for transmitting signals from the first and second nodes. The present invention pertains to a method for transmitting data. The method comprises the steps of transmitting data from a first node on a balanced line two-wire differential network to a free topology modem. Next there is the step of transmitting the data from the first node to the free topology network on which free topology transmission of data occurs with the free topology modem. Then there is the step of transmitting data from a second node on the balanced line two-wire differential network to the free topology transceiver. Next there is the step of transmitting the data from the second node to the free topology network with the free topology modem.
