a guess, and the only way that federal stuff would be applicable unless
they were an IXC and if they were that they should have their own legal
department that deals with all the stuff that a phone company will have
to deal with.  If you just get pri lines or whatever and that is all you
do there is no federal anything - one of the exemptions I mentioned
since you wouldnt be using IP.

But generally most people asking questions here are asking about voip
related services, and rather than fight it I just decided to play the
odds and include information that would make it apparent that the
federal taxes only apply to voip.  Based on your response that mission
objective was accomplished since it was clear to you that it did apply
to voip, and really little else.
