A telephone system (10) wherein all the functions of a digital phone can be accessed and implemented on a personal computer (20) alone, thereby eliminating the need for a telephone set. By means of a computer display (26) and mouse (22), keyboard or other input/output command devices, a user accesses and implements all digital telephone functions without a physical telephone set, the personal computer (20) also provides the audio function. A graphical representation of a telephone set or other telephone-related form is provided on the computer display (26) and accessed by the mouse (22), keyboard or other command device, this being accomplished by a computer program providing graphical interface implementation. A significant advantage of the system (10) is computer access to a utilization of digital telephone functions from a remote location with communication via Internet, LAN, WAN, RAS or other medium (32).
