ABSTRACT:
A method and system for computer access is provided. The method and system include an integrated remote access system comprising multiple cooperating non-dedicated remote access servers that provide access to a computer network such as the Internet, an intranet or other computer network for a switching office on a Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN"). The integrated remote access system is assigned a unique office code and other switching offices in the PSTN route access requests for the computer network to the integrated remote access system as though it were an actual switching office. No actual line numbers or ports are assigned by the PSTN for the integrated remote access system, increasing the number of available lines and ports on actual switching offices. The integrated remote access system eliminates the need for dedicated remote access servers to provide access to a computer network thereby decreasing costs for a network access server provider. The cooperating non-dedicated remote access servers that comprise the integrated remote access system are configured specifically to handle access requests and long duration connections to a computer network such as the Internet. Thus, capacity and performance are increased on the PSTN.
