In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the server (112) is comprised of a storage medium and an execution unit. The storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions for implementing communication services for facilitating the connection of the incoming phone call on behalf of the client computer (102) and interleavingly delivering the incoming call signals to the client computer (102), and accepting interleaved outbound call signals from the client computer (102) and transmitting outbound call signals on behalf of the client computer (102) to the telephone handset (140).
