Abstract
A first telephone connection from a first terminal to a second terminal is set up via a circuit-switched telephone network to send signaling from the second terminal to the first terminal via the first telephone connection, where the signaling signals the capability of the first terminal or of the second terminal to handle telephone data which are received via a data packet transmission network, or where the signaling contains connection data which relate to the availability of the signaling terminals in the data packet transmission network.

A method for setting up a telephone connection, comprising:
- setting up a first telephone connection from a first terminal to a second terminal via a circuit-switched telephone network;
- and
- sending signaling from one of the first and second terminals to the other of the first and second terminals via the first telephone connection, with the signaling indicating capability of the one of the first and second terminals also to handle telephone data which is received via a packet-switched network or containing connection data which relates to availability of the one of the first and second terminals in the packet-switched network.
An apparatus used in conjunction with a circuit-switched telephone network and a packet-switched network, comprising:
- a transmitting unit;
- and
- a control unit initiating, via said transmitting unit and via a first telephone connection of the circuit-switched telephone network, automatic sending of signaling that indicates capability of said apparatus to also handle telephone data which is received via the packet-switched network, or the signaling containing connection data which relates to availability of a signaling terminal in the packet-switched network.
