Abstract
A splitterless DSL modem (200) with an integrated off-hook detector (260) prevents data loss and/or disconnections as a voiceband device (154) coupled to the same transmission line (150) transition between steady states. The splitterless DSL modem (200) include a DSP (260), an interface (250) to a twisted pair wire line (150), signal converters (220, 222), and various filters (230, 240). The off-hook detector circuit (260) can be coupled to the interface (250) on the analog side of the DSL modem (200) or on the digital side of the signal converters (220, 222).
