By providing increased integration between a CTI server and the public switched telephone network (PSTN), enhanced features can be provided to users of the CTI server for accessing on-line services. The server connects with on-line service providers either through a PSTN office or a dedicated data network which is associated with the PSTN. The dedicated data network is usually either a frame relay or an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. The CTI server can also be connected to customer premises equipment (CPE) through a PSTN office to provide CTI services to dial-up users. Additionally, the CTI server can provide simultaneous access to multiple service providers which allows better integration of CTI services and services provided by Internet service providers.Field of SearchPATHFINDING OR ROUTINGCombined circuit switching and packet switching Switching network having separate elements to handle circuit switched traffic and packet switched traffic Routing packets through a circuit switching network Routing circuit switched traffic through a packet switching network Through a circuit switch Particular switching network arrangement Bridge or gateway between networks Details of circuit or interface for connecting user to the network Call distribution or queuing PLURAL EXCHANGE NETWORK OR INTERCONNECTION Accessing a remote server Using interconnected networks REMOTE DATA ACCESSING Computer-to-computer handshaking | |
