A terminal (1) is presented for remote distribution of information services through a public telephone network (2) and a server (3), the telephone network being of such kind which is capable of conveying A-number information (CID) containing the telephone number (4) of the caller. The terminal has a telephone connection contact (5) for connecting the terminal to a telephone socket (6) belonging to the public telephone network (2); a communication unit (7) capable of two-way analogue transmission of signals containing digital data to and from the server (3) through the public telephone network; input means (8); output means (9); and a controller (10). The controller is adapted to establish, through the communication unit, a call connection to the server, wherein the terminal in connection herewith is identified to the server by the A-number information which is associated with said telephone socket. Once telephone connection has been established to the server, the controller is adapted to send data, through the communication unit, originating from said input means to the server, and also to receive data, through the communication unit, from the server to be supplied to said output means. |
