An apparatus comprising a storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions and an execution unit is presented. The execution unit, coupled to the storage medium, executes the plurality of programming instructions to implement a hierarchy of collaboration services enabling collaboration between a client computer and a collaboration partner, including a service to determine the system attributes of the client computer and to select an appropriate collaboration service from the hierarchy of collaboration services commensurate with the determined system attributes of the client computer and enabling a collaboration session between the client computer and the collaboration partner.

In accordance with a method and apparatus for synchronizing information browsing among multiple systems, a bridgeport system receives identifiers for data requests received in a first hardware system and automatically transmits the identifier of the requested data to one or more additional hardware systems. Each of these one or more additional hardware systems then retrieves the identified data, thereby keeping the data being provided in these hardware systems in synchronization.

An apparatus for establishing a voice call to a PSTN extension for a networked client computer, and routing the voice call off of the network, is provided. In a first embodiment, the apparatus comprises a storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions coupled to an execution unit to execute the plurality of programming instructions to implement a set of communication services facilitating the establishment of the voice call to the PSTN extension. The set of communication services include services for receiving a request from the networked client computer requesting the voice call, determining the PSTN extension and controlling a computer telephony interface to route the voice call from the packet switched network to the PSTN extension.
