  • a gateway in communication with the switched circuit network, the gateway being operative to translate switched circuit network-compatible signals into computer network-compatible signals;

    an association table associating a plurality of terminal end-points with one or more network-resident service sub-systems; and

    a signal routing agent in communication with the gateway and with the terminal end-points, the signal routing agent being operative to receive incoming calls from the gateway addressed to respective ones of the terminal end-points and programmed to route the calls to the respective terminal end-points, the signal routing agent being responsive to one of the terminal end-points being unavailable to automatically route a corresponding call to one of the network-resident service sub-systems using the association table.
