To Mokel22 - my apologies. I originally crafted a long message asking about telephony functions in another thread responding to a post by ptsenter; I took so long that I was autologged off and my post was lost. This then happened again, so in frustration, I started a new thread quickly and posted it without any acknowledging you or cheyennedonna or tarvoke or anyone else.

Parenthetically, I am only interested in the wifi usage, so the PE would be just fine for me that way.

Thanks for responses.

When I first looked through the cheyennedonna (6/2011) and guyjack (3/2011) threads in the archive, I was overwhelmed by the number of programs which I am not used to. When I saw Mokel22's post, I was impressed by the relative simplicity for a chronic nooby such as myself. Tarvoke, your post is very sophisticated by my standards (sigh).

I am motivated to discover those fundamental uses a humble enduser can successfully implement and ENJOY using on the PE.

So, I wanted to find out how USEFUL people have found the edge to be as a telephone.

If it seems that some people (even if they are only sophisticated Edgers) find it to be an easy, reliable and satisfying function, I would be motivated to plow through the setup in my slow laborious hesitant fashion.

Needless to say, thank you both very much for your comments. They might encourage people who have not tried the telephone functions to do so and hopefully report back.
