A method and system for managing the transmission of data having variable priority over a transmission link are disclosed. Higher and lower priority data share a common transmission link such as a wireless communications network. Lower priority data such as a printing job does not interrupt or delay the transmission of higher priority data such as modem communications. When data to be transmitted is received by a transmitting device, a determination is made whether the data is higher or lower priority data. Higher priority data is transmitted, and lower priority data is saved in a memory for transmission during a lower priority time period. Errors occurring during the transmission of lower priority data are also saved for retransmission during a lower priority time period. A computer-based information handling system sends data to be transmitted to a transmitter for transmitting data over the transmission link. A receiver receives the data and sends the data to a remote device coupled to the receiver. Lower priority data such as printer data is adjunct to higher priority data such as modem data for the same transmission line or link.
