Abstract

A telecommunication system (10) with a distributed processor architecture having a central control processor (14) and a plurality of subprocessor controlled peripheral circuits (13) through which the central control processor (14) receives information and affects the central control of the telecommunication system (10), a selective remote interface assembly (11) which determines the operating state of the telecommunication system (10) and is connected with a single connection modem (30) and in which the selective remote interface assembly (11) selectively obtains a relatively full featured user through the single connection modem (30) when it is determined that the telecommunication system (10) is in an on-line state and to obtain a relatively limited user interface through the single connection modem (30) when it is determined that the telecommunication system (10) is in an off-line state.
