Do any adapters do address translation?

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.

Can you elaborate on what they can support?

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.
