The invention relates to an adapter equipment (IWF), a method and an
arrangement for setting up a data call terminating at a subscriber in a
telecommunication network. In the invention, adaptation functions of two
or more data services are integrated into a single adapter pool that has
one common MSISDN number shared by all the data services. After the
connection has been set up, the IWF does not try to synchronize itself
according to any data service towards another network but it monitors a
traffic channel arriving from the other network (ISDN, PSTN) in order to
identify the data service used by the calling terminal equipment. After
the IWF has identified the data service, it starts operating in the manner
required by the identified data service and data transmission may begin.
