A method of diverting a hunting function of a PSTN central office switch is provided. The method diverts a hunting function in the event a channel within a hunting group is available but a call can not be completed. The method comprises detecting a status of a plurality of user channels to determine whether all user channels associated with the hunting group are in use and providing a hunting diversion message to the PSTN central office switch in response to determining that all user channels associated with the hunting group are in use. The method also comprises detecting at least one user channel associated with the hunting group is available for an inbound call and providing a hunting enable message to the PSTN central office switch in response to determining that at least one user channel associated with the hunting group is available for an inbound call.

Internet telephone system with hunting diversion

A network access module interconnects a stand alone multi-media terminal adapter with a network controller of a frame switched network. The network access module comprises a frame switched network interface coupled to the frame switched network for communicating with the network controller. The network access module further comprises a communication link interface for communicating with the stand alone-multi media terminal adapter. A service flow module is coupled to the frame switched network interface and coupled to the communication link interface. The service flow module receives a plurality of frames of IP traffic from the multi-media terminal adapter and sorts the frames such that each frame is delivered to the frame switched network interface at a time that corresponds to a time division logical channel which corresponds to the frame. A QoS module is coupled to the service flow module and coupled to communication link interface. The QoS module generates a quality of service request for transmission to the network controller in response to receipt of a bandwidth management instruction from the multi-media terminal adapter.
