Transceiver circuitry 1 comprises a first portion 10,20,30,41,50,100,
having a first modulation means 41 operating at a first order of
modulation, for transmitting and receiving voice signals; a second portion
20,30,42,50,100, having a second modulation means 42 operating at a second
order of modulation, for transmitting and receiving digital signals at a
higher data rate than is achievable by the first portion; and a data
conversion means 20,30,100 operable to convert from or into voice signals
intended for processing by the first portion into or from digital signals
for processing by the second portion.
