Abstract
Abstract A multi-format communications client-server (50) has a number of communication interfaces (52-64). A controller and processor (68) is coupled to each of the communication interfaces (52-64) and convert messages from a first communication format to a second communication format. A memory (70) is coupled to the controller and processor (68) and the communication interfaces (52-64). The memory (70) stores a number of messages in a number of communication formats.
