ABSTRACT:
A communication adapter circuit (10) is connected to a processor through a data bus (12)and a control bus (14). Data and control signals are provided through the buses (12,14) to a timer circuit (18), a programmable peripheral interface circuit (20), an asynchronous and bisynchronous control circuit (22) and an SDLC/HDLC control circuit (24). Each of the control circuits (22, 24) includes parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversion circuitry. A clock select circuit (32) operates in conjunction with the timer circuit (18) and the programmable peripheral interface circuit (20) to establish a data transmission rate for the data flow through the adapter circuit (10). From the control circuits (22, 24) the data is transmitted through a bi-directional serial line (44) to a dual modem switch (56). From the switch (56) the data is transmitted to either an EIA interface circuit (60) to a conventional modem or through a line (64) to an internal modem.
