Good morning Peggy! You're absolutely right, this list is for that matter. It has nothing to do specifically for USA or another country this number 9 access is mostly used to access the external lines and the ordinary comma must be added in the phone number field to permit the modem to wait for the external dialling tone then you add the number you intend to dial, so the process would be like that: 9,xxxxx where xxxxx is the external number you intend to dial. This matter depends exclusively on the switchboard you are using but its a phenomena that number 9 is used to access external lines. I'm a Lebanese citizen and am working in a governmental department that uses an at&t american switchboard that uses two numbers to access the external lines, 9 and 70 and I always connect my VoiceNote to it to send and receive my mails. I also used other older switchboards that used the number 2 to access the external lines. For Jim now, you can gather these nice information when reading the manuals which come exclusively with modems. Hope this helps.
