Abstract

Method and apparatus for accomplishing an agent log-on to an automatic call distribution system, which requires a telephone identifier corresponding with an agent, without making a circuit switched telephone connection or using a circuit switched voice port. A pseudo-port is used to emulate the circuit switched voice port, permitting completion of the log-on, and permitting execution of “call” handling functions with respect to the agent for “calls” not requiring a circuit switched telephone connection.
