Well, not entirely sure about the telephony side of it, but if you want 
to run two networks then you need to be sure you have subclassed the two 
networks correctly
e.g.

use 192.168.49.xx for eth0
use 192.168.7.xx for ppp0

Not too hot on dhcp server configs but would you need to run two 
daemons, one for each network?

And given they are meant to be operating on separate interfaces 
configure each daemon to only attend to the interface it's meant to be 
attebding to?

Good luck
