Abstract:
1. A communication system, comprising: a first communication server; first software executing at the first server from a non-transitory machine-readable medium coupled to the server; rules and data stored in a repository accessible to the software; network ports for receiving and sending communications; and a third-party server executing a second set of software from memory and having access to a second set of rules; wherein, upon receiving a communication in a first protocol and addressed to a first destination, the first communication server, executing the first software, accesses the rules to determine if the first communication qualifies for alternative delivery from the first destination and protocol, and if so, transmits the first communication in original protocol to the third-party server, which determines alternative protocol and destination from the rules that are different from the first protocol and destination, and converts and delivers the communication to the alternative protocol and destination.
