摘要： A WAP-enabled device can request text-based and/or voice based content from a WAP Server. The WAP device communicates over a conventional wireless service provider network. This network provides a connection between the WAP device and a WAP Gateway. The WAP Gateway operates as a gateway between the wireless service provider network and the TCP/IP-based Internet. Content requests are sent from the WAP gateway to the WAP Server. When a request for voice-based content delivery is received, the WAP Server responds by sending a TCP/IP instruction to a Voice Portal Node. The Voice Portal Node is operative to establish a voice-based communication session with the WAP device. The WAP Server will transmit voice-based content to the Voice Portal Node. An audible transmission is then played over the telephone connection established between the Voice Portal Node and the WAP device in response to the request initiated by the WAP device.

摘要： A method of operating a data network may include establishing a data path through the data network between a routing gateway for a subscriber of the data network and a service provider providing a data service. Moreover, the data service may be provided for use at the routing gateway over the data path during a data session. A request may be received from the service provider wherein the request defines a data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider providing the data service during the data session. The data flow characteristic may then be transmitted to a node along the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider for enforcement of the data flow characteristic for the data path at the node. More particularly, the data session may be a point-to-point protocol data session. Related methods, data networks, data service providers, routing gateways, and computer program products are also discussed.

摘要： Methods and systems for responding to messages such as electronic mail messages. Based on a request to send a response to an e-mail, the e-mail originator address may be used to determine the recipient. The recipient's presence or active use of a device is checked such as by consulting a presence server or a home location register (HLR), if a wireless device. The response is sent via a response mode corresponding to such presence or active use. The response modes may be organized hierarchically. If a recipient is present or actively using more than one device, the response mode having highest priority in the hierarchy is used. The response modes may include e-mail, paging, or wireline or wireless communications. The recipient may be provided with an option to call the originator of the response. If the recipient selects the option, a call may be routed from the recipient to the originator.
