Yes I manage to connect to the 0845 number without any problems at
all. It would be nice to get the cheap orange to orange rates, instant
connection etc though.
Anyone from Demon care to comment on this?

I have managed to get it work with help from someone who knows what
they are doing. The trick is in the initialisation string which must
be :
"AT&FX4+CBST=71,0,1;"
Ensure that you don't put in  the quotes but do put in the ';' and hey
presto. This also works with the demon ISDN numbers
