The user would only chose a phone number - like they use it in the usual
phone communications. Conversion from the standard phone number to the
"*.*.*...*.tpc.int" form should be done by the client application used
for placing a call. Of course, the application might also have many
other capabilities, like a gateway to a phone-book database, which might
be on a local site, network etc.

But - all of that is a matter of the client application. I've only
described ONE possible solution, easy for network managers and ready
to be implemented NOW - at least from the administrative point of view.
I don't think there aren't better solutions!

Internet telephony is a complex area, with much problems yet to be
solved, like signalization, call processing, gateway parameters
exchange etc.

Best regards,
Beri
