Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19833069A1] A method of connecting terminal devices (clients) (1,2) to an external modem (3,4) in which several modems can be linked by means of a local network (6) to the clients (1,2). To set up a connection between one of the several clients and one of the modems, initially a search request is sent from the corresponding clients (1,2) to all modems (3,4) connected to the local network (6). An answer to send back from those of the modems, which have free resources at their disposal, to the client, and a selection is made from one of the modems which sent an answer, by the client and a connection then set up, starting from the client to the selected modem by exchange of control information.
