ABSTRACT
Some of these systems also pose the thought-provoking question: “Can you take the computer out of com puter telephony?” since, in it’s purest form, one-wire won ders treat the network as the PBX, with the functions of the phone system absorbed by the parts of the data net work, the data hubs and switches taking on the voice switching functions. At the customer premises end are boxes that act as routers and drive phones connected to the networked PCs - or the phones have Ethernet circuitry built into them and are connected to the LAN directly.
