A method for connecting a telephone call for an extension coupled to a
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to a handset coupled to a packet
switched network is provided. Log-in information for the handset coupled
to the packet switched network is received. An active handset for the
extension is then deactivated in response to receiving the log-in
information if there is an active handset. The method activates the
handset using the log-in information. When a telephone call for the
extension is received, a network address associated with the handset is
determined. The telephone call is connected through the packet switched
network to the handset coupled to the packet switched network at the
network address.
