An interface for personal communications systems is described which provides rapid identification of a caller and limited access based on a variety of parameters obtained from caller identification information encoded by the telephone company. The incoming telephone call information is compared to a preprogrammed access matrix to determine if the caller is authorized to access the personal communications system connected to the interface. A telephone call screening method and apparatus which incorporates the encoded caller identification is also described.

Computer-based multifunctional personal communication system with caller ID

A remote communications server system enables multiple remote users simultaneous access to a network. The system connects a plurality of on-line sessions across multiple communication lines to the network. A unique combination of multiple buses, multiple processors, and a segmented design creates a distributed processing communications system having high throughput without the stability problems associated with gigabit bus speeds. Furthermore, the system supports a mixture of communication links and allows the substitution of one service type for another without affecting the remaining communication links. The system is scalable in that segments can be added as needed and the number of lines handled by a segment can be increased.

Computer-based multifunction personal communication system with caller ID

An interface for modems is described which provides rapid identification of a caller and limited access based on a variety of parameters obtained from caller identification information encoded by the telephone company. The incoming telephone call information is compared to a preprogrammed access matrix to determine if the caller is authorized to access the modem connected to the interface. A telephone call screening method and apparatus which incorporates the encoded caller identification is also described. Finally, a method and apparatus for a telephone database for statistical accounting is described.
