AUTOMATIC REGENERATION OF USER DATA FROM A NETWORK

摘要

A system, method, and article of manufacture for automatically regenerating user information in a client processing system from a server processing system over a network. The client processing system first establishes a communication session (802) with the server processing system by dialing a "1-800" telephone number (809) and automatically downloads (803) from the server processing system local access information. The client processing system then establishes a second communication session (804) with the server processing system using the downloaded local access information. Upon establishing the second communication session, the client processing system automatically downloads user configuration information (807) and stores it in a memory storage device within the client processing system.
