First: "cracker speak" will most likely get you ignored. For some of the
users who use english as a second language it is excusable to mix 'z'
for 's' ocasionally. Also you don't gain mutch at all when you substitue
'ne' for 'any', and you gain nothing for 'N e'.

Second: asking for prompt reply is stupid. The only people required to
give you prompt response would be Digium for the hour of support you
paid for when you bought your X100P. We tend to fast, but on our own
schedule. Remember most of us have jobs, and answer questions while at
work. Thank my employer for allowing me to do this.

As for your questions. If you only have a single X100P, don't worry
about someone calling in and dialing 9, how are they going to get out?
But to answer the question better, and for the reason you asked it, you
keep your outgoing dial extensions in one context and do not include it
in the context that a outside caller can get to. For your inside callers
from gnophone, place registered users in a context that does include the
outside dial extensions.

At my office, I have a context [outside] that defines the local and long
distance calling dial pattern matches. All the phones in my office are
dropped in the [office] context which is able to include the [outside]
context. The incoming lines are dropped in the [default] context. The
[default] context includes my [extensions] context so they can dial a
user, but since it doesn't include the [outside[ context they can't grab
another line going out.
