Here the phone lines connect to a switch, which in turn connects to a
telephony server on the LAN. The LAN server manages call routing, although it has to have the switch perform the actual transfers.
ADVANTAGES:
No physical connection is needed between the phone and the desktop PC. Third-party call control is good for workgroups and call centers.
DISADVANTAGE:
The server can't perform automated, intelligent switching of different types of calls -- fax, voice, and data.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
