ABSTRACT:
A facility is provided in a telecommunications network which transforms a particular type of telephone call connection, e.g., a connection carrying a call placed to a source of information at the point that it enters the network into a digital network connection extending to the back end of a services platform and interfacing with the called destination. Advantageously, then, a voice connection that is typically established via the telecommunications network to an information source is replaced by an inexpensive digital connection and an information services unit.
