System for controlling the duration of the time interval between blocks of data in a computer-to-computer communication system

摘要

System for controlling the duration of the time interval between the blocks of data transmitted by a computer 1. A channel 7 transfers the first block to be transmitted to a control unit 2 which sends same over a line 4 through a modem 3. When the block has been transmitted, the unit 2 signals the channel accordingly and receives therefrom a command specifying the duration of the time interval between the blocks. The unit 2 activates interval timing means and signals the channel 7 when the time interval has elapsed. The channel can then send the second block to the unit 2.
