A method of communications employing a communications protocols defining respective responses to predetermined events, comprising: separating said protocol into a first group of behaviours defining responses to corresponding first, relatively frequently occuring, events, and a second group of behaviours defining responses to corresponding second, relatively infrequently occuring, events; Storing said first group at a first communications terminal, storing at least said second group at a store remote from said first terminal, and interconnected therewith via a communications channel; communicating from said first terminal using said first group of said protocols; on detecting an event other than one of said first events at said first terminal, signalling event-handling data from said store to said first terminal; and communicating from said first terminal using said event-handling data. |
