6. A method for connecting a caller through a public switched telephone network to multiple channels of an agent position to create an increased bandwidth data call between the caller and the agent position, the method comprising: receiving a first data call made from a caller to a destination number selected by a network subscriber based on voice and data transport capability, wherein the destination number is one of a plurality of destination numbers selected by the subscriber identified by a common telephone number and each of the destination numbers is associated with a plurality of agent positions each identified by a discrete telephone number and for each of the agent positions there is provided a first channel and second channel which is associated with the discrete telephone number, associating with said first data call made by the caller a plurality of discriminators common to both voice and data calls and an additional data rate discriminator corresponding to the data rate used by the caller, accessing a first database in response to receiving the common telephone number from the caller to obtain a routing number, selecting a second database based on the routing number, accessing the second database for obtaining one of said plurality of destination numbers selected by the subscriber for data calls, wherein the destination number selected by the subscriber is based on the common discriminators and the data rate used by the caller, completing the first data call by directing first data call to the destination number selected by the subscriber, hunting the first data call to an agent position selected from the plurality of positions, connecting the first data call to the first channel associated with the selected agent position, passing the discrete telephone number associated with the selected agent position to the caller over the first channel, receiving a second data call made by the caller to the discrete telephone number at the selected agent position and connecting the second data call to the second channel associated with the selected agent position so as to create a multi-channel data call between the caller and the selected agent position.
