Systems and methods allow an analog phone line to concurrently carry both non-packetized data from a telephone handset and packetized data from a computer to a common network access number. An access device is provided to connect the handset and the computer to a common phone line, which provides both VoIP connectivity and Internet access. Since the access number is located within the user's local calling area, the inventive system avoids long distance charges that would otherwise be applied to Internet connectivity and long distance phone calls.
