[asterisk-users] Polycom 501 config questions

[Bruce Reeves]

With regard to your question about adding a 9 to get the dial from the call
list to work. We sis this in the dialplan by catching 10 digit numbers and
adding the nine. However we have since moved away from needing the 9. I
originally put it there to be consitent with our previous pbx.
