Ok got it. I was trying to avoid the 911 misdial I got it taken care of by changing the "9" to "8" on the trunk. Thanks again.

Is AT&T part of the providers who are going away from access code? And is it implemented per request?
It isn't carrier-based. It's a trunk access code on the customer premise equipment. Connecting directly to the carrier shouldn't require a leading "9". Unless... You have "centrex" service. This was originally intended as a telco-hosted virtual PBX, but in some cases it was priced lower than ordinary POTS lines so people used it in place of regular business lines. The users would either dial a "9" from a regular phone or "9-9" from a PBX extension, or program the PBX to generate the extra "9". What is the problem you're trying to solve? -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
