Care to elaborate on that?  I was tol many years ago by several AT&T
people (I know that may not mean anything) that the ph0 harware was
a bit freaky and that I should always use ph1.  At the time I was only
using the box to dial out and had numerous various problems.  I've never
changed that set up and to this day (some 4-5 years) have never had
another phone problem again.
