ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing data network communication calls. A calling party device sends a call initiation request to a packet data network node from a computer. The request includes identifications of alternate calling party devices along with respective priority for each device. The packet data network node determines the highest priority called party device which is available and initiates communication between the calling party device and the called party device. The called party device may be, for example, a computer, a landline telephone, a wireless mobile station, or a pager. If the called party device is a telephone, the packet data network node establishes a data network connection with the calling party computer and a telephone connection with the called party telephone and performs the required conversions to allow communication between the calling party computer and the called party telephone.
