Abstract

The invention is a communications system that provides communications services to an end-user. The system includes a residential hub that is connected to the communications system over a DSL connection. The residential hub converts voice traffic to ATM for transmission over the DSL connection. The communications system includes an asynchronous communication system that is connected to a POTS system. The asynchronous communication system converts the ATM transmission to a PSTN format and transfers the PSTN format to the POTS system.
