I see.

So, what didn't you understand, then, in my 2nd reply on this thread 
(the one in which I sent a sample dialrules.hallager file)?

Well, unless national calls are defined by the leading 03, 04, 06, 07, 
or 09 you'll have to further explain how to distinguish a national call 
number from a local call number.

But if 03, 04, 06, 07, and 09 all indicate a national call then in the 
sample dialrules.hallager file that I sent simply modify the :

^03 = 001103
^04 = 001104
^06 = 001106
^07 = 001107
^09 = 001109

to be:

^03 = 05233
^04 = 05234
^06 = 05236
^07 = 05237
^09 = 05239

Since you only want this to apply to one modem then you simply point 
DialStringRules in that one modem config file at this your custom 
dialrules file (and the rest you leave default or whatever).

Thanks,

Lee.
