Thank you mikael ! I've no IP address at this point for their new number, (I'm using an analog phone connection to get through).
Mac sales techie here tells me I have to upgrade my system, but it's not clear to me that Mac people here know what's actually going on. will attempt what you suggest. Thanks again!
