A system for providing a competitive access provider controls specific lines in a remote terminal connected to a monopoly service provider connected directly from the remote terminal to a competitive access switch. In order to control the line or lines in the remote terminal, the competitive access provider switch sends signals via a signaling network to the monopoly service provider. In this manner, a competitive access provider may control a plurality of lines in a remote terminal without having to change a physical plant other than directing one or more DS 1 s or other trunks from the remote terminal to a host digital terminal on the competitive access provider network.
