The prefix command is just a command that adds that number to the digits the router will pass. When you dial 9 right now, the router has no match for that number and imediatley gives you that busy signal. When you dial 8, it shouldn't give you a busy signal until the interdigit timeout comes into play, i believe 2 seconds.
I can't understand why you want the router to pause before you dial the rest of the number. What are you trying to do exactly?
