[net.micro.att] 7300 telephone problems

I am having problems with my phone manager.
If I select the Telephone entry in my Office window,
nothing happens except the working Icon flashes briefly and
then disappears.  However, if I point at the "DATA 1" field
on my screen (obviously while logged in) I get into the telephone
call screen as normal as can do what I wish.  All of this worked
this morning before I started poking around in the /etc /usr/bin
and other directories.  The question is, what should I look at to
find/fix this problem?  When I point to the telephone entry in my
Office window, what actually executes (or is supposed to execute)?
Correlated to this, what actually happens when I point to the telephone
field (e.g. DATA 1) and press button 1 so that I can start looking at
what is wrong?
Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Robert Switzer

You might look at /usr/bin/Phones.sh for clues to what is happening when
you access the phone manager.  There is also a .phdir file in your home
directory that may have gotten hosed up.  Make sure you didn't change your
PATH or permissions on these files.
