Both the 2001 and 4951 numbers work fine for me with MiamiDx. I just
put both numbers in the dialup script, so they use exactly the same
interface settings.
I've been using the 4951 number as my main number for a few months now,
and I get through most of the time with no problems. The 2001 number
used to work great too, but although I can always get through to the
modems, it usually hangs during the final stage of connection negotiation
(before it starts the PPP stuff), or negotiates a really crummy slow
connection speed instead. Sometimes it works fine though - usually
takes a few attempts.
BTW, each number routes to a different telco, and which number works
best depends on your location (some areas are more congested than
others).
