Abstract

A multi modal communications system (10) for facilitating interpersonal conversational communications and messaging communications over a network structure. The multi modal communications system includes a portal system for transmitting and receiving communications between various communications modes, a first communications channel providing connectivity between a first user (32) and the portal system, and a second communications channel providing connectivity between a second user (37) and the portal system whereby the first user communicates with the second user through the portal system.
