Remote receipt and placement of Internet Telephony communications emulates traditional POTS telephone service through a combination of software and a specialized cordless telephony device, allowing ringing and answering of inbound calls, dialing of outbound numbers, and signaling of handset status, as well as traditional telephony capabilities such as memory dialing, redial and radio channel controls. Voice control of dialing may also be implemented under software control. This system is easily adapted for operation with most PC based Internet Telephony software systems. This system may be combined with a regular POTS cordless telephone which allows for standard POTS calls and contacting emergency services.
