ABSTRACT:
A frame having a desired destination address written into the destination address field of the frame is transmitted onto a first communications system, the frame is received by the apparatus, the frame is transmitted by the apparatus onto a second communications system with a second destination address written into the destination address field of the second frame, and also the desired destination address is written into a predetermined field of the second frame along with an indicator. The indicator is capable if being interpreted by a receiving station to mean that the desired destination address is written into the predetermined field of the second frame.
