Abstract
To prevent a calling party from paying an Internet connection fee when a called party is busy, in an Internet telephone, a call setting message including a sub-address to the called party is used to notify the called party of an incoming call which can be placed through the Internet. ISDN terminal adapters of the calling party and the called party are automatically connected to access points to the Internet to reduce the telephone rate when using the Internet.
