Do reset your clock though if you ever unplug it - use Kevin's spreadsheet & press F9 to update the programming string with the current time.

Or use the manual method:

This is going to look a lot more difficult than it is. Follow it step by step.

You need to have Microsoft Excel (Open Office will not do) on your computer so you can open Kevin Lawry's spreadsheet with the macros enabled.

Alter columns B, C, G, H, I, J, K and L on the spreadsheet to suit your requirements (columns D and M change automatically to produce the programming strings).

Then connect your computer to the modem and the modem to the spare socket in your Orchid V4.

Then, one after the other, you just click on the 'Dial Carrier Code Table' and then the 'Dial Routing Tables' buttons (top left) to program your V4 with your Carriers and Routing Rules. You should hear and see on screen the Carrier strings and Routing strings being 'sent'.

The only other cell to change is cell C29 (you own STD code) and you'll then need to click on cell D29 and then the 'Dial Single Table Entry' button (top right) to send that to your V4.

Thanks Heinz. Could I just use a laptop?

That's what I do (my laptop has a modem built in, my desktop doesn't).

Is it possible to program the box so that it puts a phone number in front of a mobile number and a hash at the end. I want to use voipgain.com for calling mobile numbers. To access voipgain I have to dial a London number instead of 18185 etc.

No. You can make a London number one of your carriers but you will have to add the # to the end of the mobile number you're dialling if voipgain.com's system requires that.

I can't get this bit.

Lead out of the computer to the modem, lead out of the modem to the V4, lead out of the V4 to *#* the phone socket.

*#* ADSL filter here if you have ADSL broadband.
