<p>A telephone system (10) for travel card users where the users may program the switching module (18) so that it completes, re-routes, or refuses to complete calls as predetermined by the costumer. Data is captured as it is downloaded from the switching module (18) to an internal buffer (20) and is fed through a digital commuications path (61) and an analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter (63) to a switching station computer (32, 33). The switching station computer (32, 33) is in communication with a data storage server (42) and the data storage server (42) is in communication with remote telephones (50, 56, 68, 12) and with computers (46) and facsimile machines (70) in remote customers' offices (44). The switching station computer (32, 33) is thus programmable by the customer and incoming calls are handled as predetermined by the customer. A voice response device (66) provides verbal communication between the system (10) and its users.</p> |
