A system and a call forwarding manager device for providing Internet
telephony to a subscriber's premises via the subscriber's Internet
connection, facilitated by the subscriber's analog telephone connection.
Incoming analog telephone calls are received by the call forwarding
manager connected to the subscriber's analog telephone line, which
responds by generating a request for service from a voice gateway, which
may be remotely located. The voice gateway then generates an Internet
telephone connection from the voice gateway to an Internet protocol
telephone owned by the subscriber, and then connects the analog telephone
call via the voice gateway to the Internet protocol telephone via the
subscriber's Internet connection.
