26. A method of establishing a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) communication, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request from a user of an internet protocol (IP) telephone device to establish a PPPoE session to launch a VoIP telephone call;
retrieving PPPoE login information;
establishing a point to point over Ethernet (PPPoE) session from the internet protocol (IP) telephone device to an access router of a remote VoIP service provider network in response to the request and in response to retrieving the login information;
communicating VoIP traffic over the PPPoE session. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
