A method for interfacing a user location on a network to a destination
location on the network is disclosed. A bar code having product
information contained therein relating to an associated product is first
scanned with a scanner, which bar code has no network routing information
contained therein. The product information contained within the bar code
is then extracted. Routing information over the network from the user
location to the destination location is then defined in response to the
steps of scanning and extracting, which routing information defines the
location of the destination location on the network. With the routing
information, the user location is then connected to the destination
location in accordance with the defined routing information.
