Summary:A method for handling an incoming call received at an inbound terminal via an analog line is described. The method comprises receiving the incoming call at the inbound terminal; storing caller ID data enabling identification of incoming call; comparing a stored existing caller ID with the stored current caller ID to determine if an earlier incoming call is being signaled to an application; if the earlier incoming call is being signaled, disconnecting the earlier incoming call; and presenting the incoming call to the application thereby reducing the risk of conflict between incoming calls.
