A system ( 10 ) for communicating information associated with one or more subscribers includes a connecting link ( 50 ). A first switching system ( 14 ) coupled to the connecting link ( 50 ) communicates remote voice signals ( 60 ) and remote data signals ( 62 ) using the connecting link ( 50 ). A second switching system ( 14 ) coupled to the connecting link ( 50 ) includes an interface ( 56 ) to receive the remote voice signals ( 60 ) and the remote data signals ( 62 ) using the connecting link ( 50 ). The second switching system ( 14 ) also includes subscriber line ports ( 17 ) for receiving local voice signals ( 52 ) and local data signals ( 54 ) from subscribers. The interface ( 56 ) of the second switching system ( 14 ) selectively communicates the highest priority available signals using an outgoing link, voice signals ( 52, 54 ) having higher priority than data signals ( 60, 62 ). In a more particular embodiment, the remote voice signals ( 60 ) may have higher priority than the local voice signals ( 52 ).
