Description An exchange of information between two modems as they attempt to connect to each other. Because the modems may not necessarily have the same capabilities, handshaking is required to determine the maximum possible connection speed. The crunching/beeping noises that the modem makes when it dials up the remote computer is the sound of it handshaking.
