           (bit-robbing) The exchange of call control
          information on the same channel as the telephone call or data
          transmission.  Since one bit in a frame is periodically used
          for signalling instead of data, this is often referred to as


          {bit robbing}.
       
          This is the reason why a {D1} channel in the T-carrier system
          can only carry 56 Kbps of usable data instead of the 64 Kbps
          carried by the {D0} channel in the E-carrier system.
