My setup:
Tel 08440416672
Primary and Secondary DNS 0.0.0.0
Baud rate 115200

I get a connection to Demon and receive all my IP configuration. Trying to
ping 158.152.1.43 I get a reply for about 3 seconds after dialup completes
and then times out. Not using the router and all 0844 numbers work fine. I
am about to throw the router out of the window ;) I have used PCP account
for about 4 yrs with no problems until now and this SMC router.

I have used firmware 1.95, 1.95h and 1.96h3 all with the same result.

Is there another G5 number I can use that does not begin with 0844 - maybe
an 020 number?

I have now checked my compression setting within
https://www.password.uk.demon.net/webpassword.cgi and it was set to MS-STAC.
I changed this to STAC and everything now works! I am a little confused as I
was led to believe that compression was not used on Surftime numbers - can
anyone confirm this?

Still I am now a happy bunny ;)

 compression is available on Demon surftime numbers.

It might not be available where an ISP uses BT's Surfport modems to
collect the calls, Demon route them to their own gear over Thus
networks I believe.

I was getting something like this on about 20 May.  I could dial in 
(Surftime ISDN), and ping any IP address, but DNS wasn't working and 
pinging 158.152.1.58/43 didn't work.  Stayed broken when I redialled, 
but was OK an hour or two later.  Another Demon account could do DNS.  I 
took it as an unreported Demon problem.

We use a Linux firewall with MS-Stac enabled.

Using ordinary dial up, I cannot reach 0844 numbers when I am at a
friends place who has NTL telephone line instead of BT. Change to 0845
and it is OK - If you are not with BT then this could be your problem.
