Abstract
The distributed subscriber adjunct services system functions to implement a distributed presence of the subscriber adjunct service over the extent of a telecommunication network. The subscriber can thereby access the functionality of their home subscriber adjunct services system via a local call connection yet directly obtain access to their subscriber agent in their standard access mode. The telecommunication network service node that the subscriber accesses receives the necessary subscriber data, control messages and the like from the subscriber agent of the subscriber adjunct services system by data networking via a standard telecommunication transfer protocol, such as TCP/IP via the Internet or an Intranet. This data communication connection enables the local telecommunication network service node to realize the functionality of the subscriber adjunct service system without the need for a long distance call connection to the subscriber's home telecommunication network service node.
