I'm wondering if one or more of these adapters allow users to configure simple address translation tables to automatically insert the local area code etc.
Our area is going to 10-digit dialing, but I'm thinking maybe I could remain on 7-digit dialing if I program the adapter to insert my area code unless I start with a '0' or '1'.
Is there an adapter that supports this feature?
NAT yes, that no.
Thus spaketh Pat Coghlan:
I use a LinkSys PAP2, I have it set up so that when I dial a 7 digit local number, it dials 0044121 in front of the number, as the VoIP provider I use requires numbers to be in international format, when I dial numbers beginning 0 as in the UK numbers begin with a 0, it translates this to 0044, other LinkSys / Sipura devices have the same capabilities.
Wrong. Any of the Sipura range of ATA's has a user-configurable dial plan that allows you to do this. It's not for the novice user though and requires some knowledge of how the adaptor and VoIP works.

Well, if that's all you mean by translation!-) Hey, CallVantage has a real timesaver called "SPEEDDIAL"!
All my ATA's have that as well, irrespective of provider, so what..? Speed dial usually only works for a specific number entered into its memory, the OP wanted to prefix all 7 digit numbers entered.
