1. A system supporting remote configuration and control of a plurality of access devices via a broadband access gateway, the system comprising:

  • a gateway communicatively coupled to a broadband network and at least one wireless interface, the gateway capable of selectively communicating multimedia information among the at least one wireless interface and the broadband network, and of communicating with the plurality of access devices via the at least one wireless interface;

    the gateway capable of collecting, from at least a portion of the plurality of access devices, information identifying each access device and a corresponding set of services that may be remotely initiated;

    the gateway capable of transmitting at least a portion of the collected information to a first one of the plurality of access devices, when the first one of the plurality of access devices is detected to be communicatively coupled to the gateway;

    the gateway capable of receiving, from the first one of the plurality of access devices, a user selection of a second one of the plurality of access devices;

    the gateway capable of providing to the first one of the plurality of access devices, responsive to the user selection of the second one of the plurality of access devices, a set of instructions executed on the first one of the plurality of access devices to produce a user interface appropriate for configuration/control of the second one of the plurality of access devices;

    the gateway capable of receiving, from the first one of the plurality of access devices, a first message requesting that the second one of the plurality of access devices perform an identified service;

    the gateway capable of adapting the first message to a second message compatible with the second one of the plurality of access devices based upon the first message and the collected information; and

    the gateway capable of delivering the second message to the second one of the plurality of access devices.
