1. A system for configuring and operating a residential telecommunications system comprising:
- a residential gateway configured to receive a call and to output call information associated with the call to a telephony feature-processing framework;
a local telecommunications control interface operable to configure a selectable system feature and to integrate a selected system feature in the telephony feature processing framework;
the telephony feature processing framework configured to activate at least one telephony feature module integrated in the framework in response to receiving the associated call information; and
the at least one telephony feature module configured to process the associated call information and to provide a telephony feature associated with the at least one telephony feature module.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method to configure and operate a residential local area network (LAN) based telephone system. The illustrated system provides a residential gateway configured to receive a telephone call and process the call based on user configured options. The user-configured options can be provided by telephony feature processing modules (TFPM)s that operate in a Session Initiated Protocol Proxy Framework (SIP-PF). The TFPMs can send, receive and process calls and call data to control network devices such as network telephones.
