Hi Nico,
I thought about that too.
But I made bad experiences with that dialrules/destctrls. I tried to
configure my own
hylafax to use different prefix-numbers for different destinations but
that did
not work properly. mainly because I do not understand what a canonical
number is.
(should be e.g. +49.0711.7880599 for my own fax).
But I submit only the "nude" numbers to sendfax.
e.g. sendfax -d 07117880599 sometext.ps
so which number will hylafax parse then with the dialrules ??
Lets say I want all long distance calls starting with 0711 the rule to
be
dial 01030 as prefix for a different provider.
the rule I put into dialrules is:
^0711* = 01030,&
Is that correct ??

other topic:
I built a Hylafax-Package with the newest beta compiled with gcc 2.9.5
for Solaris 2.4.
Where can I upload it so that it is downloadable for everyone ??
Have a nice day
