Network access device and telecommunication signaling

A method for relating telecommunications connections to private network communication throughput in a telecommunications switch and an associated network access server, comprising the steps of:

• receiving an incoming call at said telecommunications switch, said incoming call originating at a subscriber;
• routing said incoming call to said associated network access server;
• applying a point-to-point protocol to a link between said subscriber and said associated network access server;
• implementing a network phase according to said point-to-point protocol for said link;
• and
• sending a B-answer communication to said telecommunications switch from said associated network access server in response to said step of implementing a network phase.

A method for relating telecommunications connections to private network communication throughput in a telecommunications switch and an associated network access server, comprising the steps of:

• providing information throughput between a subscriber and a private network;
• determining that said information throughput is to cease;
• and
• sending a B-on-hook communication from said associated network access server to said telecommunications switch prior to entering a dead phase of a point-to-point protocol of a link between said subscriber and said associated network access server.
