I appreciate your point, but it's not that hard to avoid having the 9 
prefix at all (in a simple dialplan at least).  So to be honest one 
might as well dump the whole "dial 9" thing completely in the scenario 
you describe?

I think the solution here is really that the CID type applications 
become aware of prefix digits and strip them.  Anyone know of good 
solutions to this?

Any backend solutions to get Asterisk to hook into Exchange server etc?
