Can't help you with your zaptel & ssh issues - I use them both on my 
systems without any issues at all.

But why force your wife to dial 9?

In my dialplans, I use 0 to indicate an outside line... (as well as some 
hard-coded ones for 999, etc.)

The only issue then is that you need to dial the whole number, area code 
included, but that's not really an issue anymore as you have to do that 
with a mobile.

The other plus side is that the speed-dials & caller ID on the house DECT 
phones still work.

I do provide 9 too, but it's not really needed, but handy for stuff like 
118118 & 150, etc.
