I've used a Portech unit (2 sims) in recent times. Did what it said it was 
supposed to do.... (and still is as far as I'm aware!) Relatively easy to 
setup and just had a few extralines of dialplan to detect the dialled 
number and it was was to a UK mobile, then dial it via the Portech, or 
fail-back to their ISDN lines..

Presumab'y you're using it for LCR type of things - relatively easy to do 
in the UK, but your country's dialling codes might vary ...
