Phone lines are connected to a board in a voice server that sits on the LA
N. The server gets the voice or data call, but not control information -- just the opposite of what happens in the server-centric configuration.
ADVANTAGES:
This configuration provides access to the media stream (e.g., voice, data, and fax).
DISADVANTAGES:
A phone line can only control a call that it has received or placed; it can't send other types of instructions to the switch. This architecture can be too slow for call-center operations.
Flexible C++

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
