Abstract

A system for providing access to a computer network comprises a first computer (114) operatively coupled to the computer network and a second computer (122) operatively coupled to the computer network. A peripheral device (120), which is coupled to the first computer, includes a plurality of buttons (118). If one of the plurality of buttons is activated, the first computer responds by communicating a signal to the second computer over the computer network. The second computer is constructed and arranged to respond to the signal communicated from the first computer by redirecting the signal to a third computer (124) to establish a network connection between the first computer and the third computer over the computer network.
