1. A real time signal intercept system for installation in a signalling link between a first signal point which transmits first high speed data signals and a second signal point which would receive the first high speed data signals except they are intercepted by the signal intercept system, comprising in combination:

  • a computer which processes data received by the signal intercept system in the form of signals from the first signal point;

    a communications coprocessor operably connected to the computer;

    a signalling link interface which intercepts the first high speed data signals transmitted from the first signal point onto the signalling link and then directs the intercepted signals to the communications coprocessor and transmits processed first high speed data signals received from the communications coprocessor onto the signalling link to the second signal point, wherein the second signal point receives the processed first high speed data signals, and wherein the communications coprocessor captures the first high speed data signals received from the signalling link interface and presents captured first high speed data in a form acceptable to the computer, converts processed first high speed data from the computer into the processed first high speed data signals in a form acceptable to the signalling link and transmits the first high speed data signals to the signalling link interface.
