  • Method and apparatus for transmitting and routing voice telephone calls over a packet switched computer network
    Publication number: 20030193933
    Abstract: A method and system for routing and transmitting voice conversations across a packet switched computer network and a circuit switched public telephone network is provided. Conversion between packet switched computer network protocols and circuit switched telephone network protocols is performed by one or more phone switches which are coupled to the packet switched computer network and the circuit switched telephone network. Routing voice conversations among multiple phone switches coupled to the packet switched computer network is performed by one or more routing servers coupled to the packet switched computer network, or a user's local computer.

  • Method and apparatus for enabling transmission of data packets over a bypass circuit-switched public telephone connection
    Patent number: 6137792
    Abstract: A method and system for routing and transmitting data packets over a bypass circuit-switched telephone network from a source computer coupled to a packet-switched computer network via a source router and a destination computer coupled to said packet-switched computer network via a destination router. The source computer designates data packets to be transmitted over the bypass circuit-switched telephone network. These data packets are detected by the source router which establishes a connection to the destination router via the bypass circuit-switched telephone network. The source router then transmits the data packets to the destination router via the bypass circuit-switched telephone network. The destination router then transmits the data packets to the destination computer.
