But if LCR is a dial 8 he wants someone to go off hook and dial 911 without accessing a trunk so LCR would need to be 9 and then 11 with a modify digit to add the 9.

RM Systems, I did play with this. you won't "see" the 9 added to the digits dialled on a phone. Suggest if you want to play with it on a live system use a 4 instead of a 9 to test the theory. At least information won't get pissed off like a 911 operator then just change the modify digit to 9 when you know it should work
