Digital wireless telephone system interface for analog telecommunications equipment
First Claim
1. A digital wireless telephone system that can be used with analog fax machines, analog computer modems, and analog telephones, comprising:
- means for converting tones into digital data; and
means, coupled to said means for converting, for configuring said means for converting to convert number tones into digital numbers, to convert fax tones into digital data if a fax indicator is received over the air, and to convert data tones into digital data if a data indicator is received over the air.

Abstract
A novel and improved method and apparatus for providing an interface to a digital wireless telephone system compatible with standard analog wire line telephones, analog wire line fax machines, and computer modems is described. At the start of a telephone call, a data pump interprets the digits dialed, and if a first set of digits are received a control system configures the data pump for processing analog fax data. If a second set of digits are received, the control system configures the data pump for processing analog computer modem data. If a telephone number is received, the control system configures the interface system to pass additional data to a vocoder which encodes any digitized audio information received.
