Yup. That's the way to do it. 9 button presses before you get to select.

So.. Try getting a "mom & pop" accountancy company to go through having to 
push 9 key-preses before they get to select the account they want to use 
for outgoing calls (business or home on their case) THEN remembering to 
switch it back again. (Their response was "Fuck that, can't you make it 
easier?")

Bzzt. So Sorry Mr. Snom. Does not compute is my answer to that.

(so since they still liked the Snoms otherwise, my solution is to get them 
to dial a star at the end of a number to select their 'home' account, 
otherwise it goes out on their work account and the dialplan fixes it up)
