Abstract
A telephony control is provided in the form of a relocatable serialized object having an identical route node to a directed graph. The directed graph includes modules performing telephony control functions. By providing modules implementing simple primitive elements of a telephony control, a telephony control of any desired degree of complexity can be created. Also, by providing the telephony control as a relocatable serialized object, it is possible to offer a user a number of different telephony controls at a web server and to enable to user to relocate a copy of that telephony control to the user's telecommunications apparatus for implementing a telephony control, for example, a voicemail system, of any desired degree of complexity, at the user's telecommunications apparatus.
