1. An accessory device for a server, said server allocating client primary resource requests to primary resources and having a primary queue, said device comprising:
- a controller;
a server communication link adapted to communicate with said server and monitor said primary queue to intercept client primary resource requests from within said server in response to said controller;
an auxiliary queue, said device storing said intercepted requests in said auxiliary queue in response to said controller; and
a secondary resource communication link adapted to communicate with at least one secondary resource, said device allocating secondary resource requests to said at least one secondary resource in response to said controller, wherein said device returns said intercepted requests to said server via said server communication link in response to a desired condition.

Abstract
An external accessory is added to an automatic call director to ensure first in first out operation for connection to primary resources when secondary resources are accessed prior to primary resources. A controller intercepts resource requests for the call director and manages an auxiliary queue to provide first in first out operation. The resource requests are returned to the call director queue once first in first out is guaranteed.
