Abstract
A system and method are provided for multiline telephony in a home-network telephone system. The method comprises: establishing a gateway; using the gateway for transceiving calls on a plurality of external telephone lines; and, bridging a call between a home-network endpoint and a selected external telephone line. Transceiving calls on a plurality of external telephone lines includes the gateway communicating call information in a format such as voice-over broadband (VoBB) or POTS. Bridging a call includes the gateway: converting between the external format and a digital home-network format; establishing a traffic channel between the gateway and the endpoint to communicate information in the home-network format; and, establishing an out-of-band control channel to manage the corresponding traffic channel.
