1. A method, comprising the steps of:
- selecting a communications device from a plurality of communications devices to communicate data between a personal digital gateway and the selected communications device, the data associated with a common user of the personal digital gateway and of the selected communications device;
interpreting the data according to a rule-based engine to categorize the data as at least one of (1) data associated with an access agent, (2) data associated with a configuration agent, (3) data associated with a security agent, and (4) data associated with a management agent;
processing the data according to an edge side assembler; and
communicating the data with the selected communications device, wherein the personal digital gateway enables communication of the data with each communications device of the plurality of communications devices, the plurality of communications devices comprising a wireless communications device, a mobile phone, a wireless phone, a WAP phone, an IP phone, a satellite phone, a computer, a modem, a pager, a digital music device, a digital recording device, a personal digital assistant, an interactive television, a digital signal processor, and a Global Positioning System device.
