A telephone system wherein all the functions of a digital telephone can be
accessed and implemented on a personal computer alone, thereby
eliminating the need for a telephone set. By means of the computer
display and mouse, keyboard or other input/output command devices, a user
accesses and implement all digital telephone functions without the
physical telephone set, the personal computer also providing the audio
function. A graphical representation of a telephone set or other
telephone-related form is provided on the computer display and accessed
by the mouse, keyboard or other command device, this being accomplished
by a computer program providing graphical interface implementation. A
significant advantage of the system is computer access to and utilization
of digital telephone functions from a remote location with communication
via Internet, LAN, WAN, RAS or other mediums.
