are you doing this for internet only access or will you also be doing dialup calls??

based on the FDNODE.CTL you posted, here's what you should have...

note1: i used the environment variable method for 1:275/311...

note2: look at how the other two PHONE overrides have their
       number listed. the # indicates to use telnet. a V
       would indicate to use the vmodem protocol.

note3: in the DIAL section, the three entries marked internet
       are what work the majik. they must be listed like they
       are for them to work properly. the 000- and the V may
       be changed but the other parts cannot. we could even
       put in a "0000- internet#" entry so that numbers or
       domains in the nodelist starting with 0000- would be
       vmode protocol connects but we won't because it is not
       necessary.

note4: make sure you put in whatever is needed to strip the
       1-705- off your local numbers.
