A method and system for providing computer-network related information
about a calling party. First, the called party receives a telephone
number of a calling party. The called party's customer premises equipment
(CPE) or elements in a telephone network then use the telephone number to
index a database, which contains combinations of telephone numbers and
computer-network addresses. Once the calling party's computer-network
address is retrieved, calling-party-customized information present at the
computer-network location specified by the computer-network address can
be sent to and displayed on the called party's CPE. Also, the calling
party's telephone number can be sent to an application in the computer
network, causing the calling-party-customized information to be
automatically displayed on the called party's CPE.
