Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for establishing and directing communication between a communication device and a service. In accordance with the present invention, a server is used to direct a communication device to a service for communicating across both circuit-based and packet-based networks. The server may direct the communication device to a service, or a service to a device. This allows different communication devices to communicate effectively using both circuit-based and packet-based networks.
