Hi Eric, Sorry I was out when you called. Thanks for that clarification! That makes me more comfortable with setting up Ubuntu or any variant.

However ! with JF's help and putting a capital P where the number for an outside line would go it works just fine in Ubuntu ( I used gnome ppp and ran a script to run it in the top panel as an added tool). So don't discard Ubuntu as I think its more of sorting the actual requirements for each given circumstance. Hope this helps.
