I don't think this is possible without changing the source, but as you have
set a LocalIdentifier, the FAXNumber value is not used much... maybe in
your tagline, up there in the () and when polling or receiving a fax it is
canonicalized and used. So you may want to use FAXNumber to provide that
information (and make sure that your canonicalization rules do remove that
extra information to retrieve only the number when necessary). This is
untested, but it should work.

FAXNumber: "MEL-1 +61.3.XXXX.XXXX"

in CanonicalNumber add a line like near the begining:

^[^+]+[+] = +  ! Removes everything before the first '+'

You do know that entering non digits (or space or '+') in the
LocalIdentifier is against the standards and that most machines out there
won't see your company name but an empty string? LocalIdentifier is
supposed to be your canonicalized fax number.
