Hi Rob The dial up issue was to to with pulse or tone and since the location in question was an older one with pulse it proved to be a tricky one to solve. 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.
