Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9904540A1] A communication system for establishing communication between two end points (7, 12). The system comprises at least two communication media (1, 2) operating in accordance with different communication protocols and connected to respective ones of the end points in use. An interface (3) couples together the two communication media (1, 2). A control system (24, 27) is connected to each of the end points (7, 12) and to the interface (3) and is responsive to a request to establish a communication connection between the end points to configure the interface (3) and the end points (7, 12) such that a connection path is defined between the end points, via the communication media along which messages can subsequently be sent.
