flexfax: A sample complex dialrules file

! HylaFAX (tm) Dialing String Processing Rules for the Toronto Area.

! This file may be freely distributed; suggestions or improvements
! are welcomed.
!
! Here is an example of how to revise the 'dialrules' file to cope
! with situations in which multiple area codes (or certain parts of
! them) are 'local' calls. As an increasing number of metropolitan
! communities are being split into multiple area codes, there needs to
! be a way to instruct HylaFax which other area codes (and exchanges)
! are local.
!
! Toronto's situation appears typical. What was once all 416 is now
! split between 416 (Toronto itself) and 905 (everything surrounding).
! Many exhchanges can call locally to areas of the other. Also,
! some outlying 905 exchanges can make local calls to some 519 numbers.
!
! Somehow, Hylafax needs to be told which exchanges are local; This is
! done, in the 'Dialstring' portion of the dialrules file, by first
! adding ${LDPrefix} to everything and then removing it if the exchange
! is local.
!
! While this file has most value to Toronto-area users, it offers a
! resaonable template of how to accomplish the same task in other areas.

! Revision History
! 1.0 1995/11 First release
! 1.1 1998/05 Cleanup, added new exchanges
!
! Information below is covers much of Peel, Halton and York Regions,
! as well as Toronto. The default setup below is for systems located in
! Brampton.
!
!
Area=905                        ! (used for 905 exchanges below)
Country=${CountryCode}          ! local country code
IDPrefix=${InternationalPrefix} ! prefix for placing an international call
LDPrefix=${LongDistancePrefix}  ! prefix for placing a long distance call
!
WS="    "                       ! our notion of white space
!
! Convert a phone number to a canonical format:
!
!    +<country><areacode><rest>
!
! by (possibly) stripping off leading dialing prefixes for
! long distance and/or international dialing.
!
CanonicalNumber := [
#.*                     =                       ! strip calling card stuff

! Process a dialing string according to local requirements.
! This may involve stripping local country and area codes,
! inserting dialing prefixes, etc.

DialString := [
[-${WS}.]+              =                       ! strip syntactic sugar
^[+]${Country}          =                       ! Its in North America
^${LDPrefix}            =
^[2-9]......$           = ${LDPrefix}905&       ! default AC for 7-digit Nos.
!                                    ^^^ <----- (change to 416 if the HylaFAX
!                                               system is within Toronto)
^[2-9].........$        = ${LDPrefix}&          ! if the number is 10-digits
!
!
! This part strips the leading ${LDPrefix} from local exchanges
! Uncomment the lines for exchanges that are local to you; comment out
! everything that is long distance from your area.
