For SIP, you have to understand that in most situations, Asterisk will 
not get a dialstring until the phone decides that you are done dialling.
So if you want a new dialtone after the 9, you got to configure the 
phone that way - if possible.

Or dial 9, direct 9 to the disa() app in your dial plan and provide a 
new dialtone from the PBX...

For local ZAP channels, the story is different, because there Asterisk 
will provide the dialtone.
