The only problem I run into is that 416- is Canada and I have calls outside 
the US blocked. Is there still those 10-10-1234 numbers you can call for long 
distance? anyone know a way around the block? 

Once thats setup if you need I have a real working lanline and a kickass 
modem. if you want to have a # inside the US setup.
