Matthias? This is not usually correct. Most "dial 9 first" setups
are part of a local mail system, and should not use the 9 first
for local extensions. For that case, a modification of the dialrules
is more appropriate, as follows:

   [tuvTUV]		= 8
   [wxyWXY]		= 9
   ^[+]${Country}		= ${LDPrefix}		! long distance call
   ^[+]			= ${IDPrefix}		! international call
   ^[0-9]{7,}$		= 9,&		! add 9 for outside calls
   ]

It's the "add 9" line that needs to be added...
