Abstract
The present invention enables a user, logged on to a data network over a traditional telephone line, to be notified of incoming calls over that same line without interruption of the data session. In addition, the user can accept the incoming call without terminating the data session. The user is also able to provide communication between the incoming call and the data session such that, voice over the data session can be conferenced into voice over the incoming telephone line.
