Do the two numbers differ in the "features" they have? Say, for instance
one has call waiting and the other dosen't?
The only time that it would make sense that a logon "breaks" from a
different number on the client side is when the server is using callback
verification.
In either case, why not just run Miami init again, import the new settings
and save them with a different name/icon. Then just start Miami with the
corresponding icon, depending on which line you are using.
I used to swap phone lines on my side all the time, using the same exact
settings with no problems at all.
BTW, all that the "location" stuff in MS dialer does AFAIK, is to help the
dialer decide whether it needs to dial "1" and the area code. It really
shouldn't have a bearing on any of the other settings. (with the exception
of callback type connections)
