This is not the first time that fact and fiction have got mixed up on this forum :)

apologies for dragging this thread back to a serious mindset :-). Also apologies for taking so long to reply with a thank you for the awesome information contained herein but I was required to travel for my job at the last minute.
Great stuff ianobi, and jimates too. I know a number of folks have taken US OBis to the UK, I was half expecting to see a wiki entry somewhere on all the stuff to change. I did find this posting http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=3203.0 and implemented most of his changes, I hope they're accurate?
So I did your suggestions ianobi, thanks a lot! There are some subtle differences between Ireland and the UK - Ireland uses RJ11 ports (yaay) and has 1800, 1890 etc US-style numbers, not 0800. There are also other 5 digit #s but none of these are dialed often so I suppose he'll get the usual 15s delay on those. Lastly 9 digit numbers starting with a 0 are also possible, so I modified your suggestion slightly and used the digit map below to give a 4s delay on 0 + 1-9 + 7 digits but a 0s delay on a 0 + 1-9 + 8 digits.
(xxxxxxS4|xxxxxxxS4|0[1-9]xxxxxxxS4|0[1-9]xxxxxxxxS0|xx.)
Thanks again,
Paul

you say you only hear the US style ring back for a second or two and the rest of the time you are listening to the Ir4eland style tones. If this is correct, I would think the Obi has already completed its dialing and has already connected your telephone set to the POTS line. Dialing # before the number as suggested will give you a more definitive answer, but it could also be that the Obi is not detecting a "Connect" when the phone company opens up the line. You might try changing the connect detection from "Assume connected after a short delay" to "None" as a test. If your POTS line offers polarity reversal that should be the best choice.
For this the default is "None" and the other options are "Detect Speech" & "Detect Polarity Reversal". I guess I'll leave it as "None", thx.

I’m glad you managed to fight your way past all the pointy hats to get to the end of the thread. We regulars need a little light relief from time to time :)
I’m sure your digit map could be better designed. If you wish to post all the number formats used, then some of us will have a go. Matching patterns is what it is all about. Assuming local numbers never start with a 0 or a 1, how about:
([2-9]xxxxS4|[2-9]xxxxxS4|[2-9]xxxxxxS0|0[1-9]xxxxxxxS4|0[1-9]xxxxxxxxS0|xx.)
Five and six digit local numbers go to line after 4 second dealy.
Seven digit local numbers go to line with no delay.
Nine digit numbers starting with 0 go to line after 4 second delay.
Ten digit numbers starting with 0 got to line with no delay.
All other numbers go to line after 10 second delay.
Automatic routing of GV calls in US format 1xxxxxxxxxx can also be done. Let us know if you wish to fine tune more, or just have a go – theres lots of examples on this forum.
