Abstract
In order to deal with multiple communication endpoints that use a single address of record (e.g., a telephone number), a list of friendly names is determined for the multiple communication endpoints. The friendly names identify individual communication endpoints. For example, a friendly name may be 'Joe's Desktop.' When a Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) application is associated with a communication session, the list of friendly names is presented to a user. The user selects one of the friendly names. This results in a message being sent that indicates a communication endpoint associated with the selected friendly name. The message with the friendly name causes a new communication session to be automatically initiated from a communication endpoint associated with the selected friendly name or an answer of a forked communication session with the communication endpoint associated with the selected friendly name.
