A method and apparatus for a computer and telecommunication network which
can receive, send and manage information from or to a subscriber of the
network, based on the subscriber's configuration. The network is made up
of at least one cluster containing voice servers which allow for
telephony, speech recognition, text-to-speech and conferencing functions,
and is accessible by the subscriber through standard telephone connections
or through internet connections. The network also utilizes a database and
file server allowing the subscriber to maintain and manage certain contact
lists and administrative information. A web server is also connected to
the cluster thereby allowing access to all functions through internet
connections.
