Abstract
Embodiments of a device for providing an interface to the Internet using standard analog telephones and household telephone lines are described. An interactive console incorporates a display panel, analog telephone adapter, broadband router, and wireless Internet protocol interface in an integrated housing. The interactive console connects to a standard analog telephone, and interfaces the telephone to an Internet protocol network. A server computer coupled to the Internet protocol network provides Internet and digital network services to users of the console, as well as interconnection to other server computers and resources on the Internet. The interactive console and server system thus provide an interface for existing telephone users to gain Internet intelligence and interact with the greater Internet community.
