Abstract

A multimedia transaction between a local and a remote transaction systems (10 and 12) is facilitated by a multimedia interface (16) within each system. The multimedia interface (16) associated with each transaction system serves to signal a telephone (18, 20) associated with the other transaction system to go off hook while the transaction systems are exchanging data when a voice conversation between the transaction systems is desired. Further, the multimedia interface (16) serves to convert the analog speech from the telephone of its associated transaction system into digital voice packets for transmission with the digital signals to the other the transaction system. Also, each multimedia interface converts the digital voice packets received at its associated transaction system from the other transaction system into analog voice information for receipt at the associate telephone.
