1. A method for processing telecommunications signaling that comprises:

  • (a) receiving in-band telecommunications signaling into a first telecommunications device coupled to a first connection;

    (b) in the first telecommunications device, converting the in-band telecommunications signaling to an out-of-band telecommunications signaling message;

    (c) routing the out-of-band telecommunications signaling message from the first telecommunications device to a processor that is external to the first telecommunications device and a second communication device;

    (d) processing the out-of-band telecommunications signaling message in the processor to select a second connection coupled to the first telecommunications device and to the second telecommunications device;

    (e) generating a first control message and a second control message indicating the second connection;

    (f) transmitting the first control message from the processor to the first telecommunications device and transmitting the second control message from the processor to the second telecommunications device; and

    (g) in the first telecommunications device, receiving the first control message and coupling the first connection to the second connection in response to the first control message.
