   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.
