Abstract
A system and method for supporting communications services on behalf of a communications device which cannot provide those services itself in a communications network based on functional signaling. A terminal is designed to identify a supporting server/terminal proxy upon initialization. Henceforth, the terminal provides each user input stimulus to the server and responds to stimulus from the server. The server manages the state machine of the terminal, provides supplementary services, and meets protocol requirements for the network interface.
