End-user devices (12) are networked together by a connection to a common single-pair wire, such as standard telephone wiring. Deterministic-bandwidth data and nondeterministic-bandwidth data can be simultaneously communicated between a number of devices. Devices can be realized which attach directly to this network or adapters (14) may be used to connect devices which have traditional communications interfaces. Thus, a wide variety of end-user devices, such as telephones, PCs and televisions, may be internetworked using, in some cases, already existing single-pair wiring. A control unit (11) may be provided which synchronizes the communication of data between the devices. |
