Abstract
An information transfer system which includes a data terminal capable of connecting to networks and a central facility capable of connecting to a plurality of the data terminals which may differ from each other in their capabilities and/or features through the network. The data terminal has a model code which indicates its capabilities and/or features and sends the model code to the central facility at every time the data terminal connects to the central facility. The central facility discriminates the model code sent from the data terminal and detects the capabilities and/or the features of the data terminal. Further, the central facility sends information to the data terminal in a manner appropriate to the capabilities and/or features of the data terminal.
