Re: [hylafax-users] Newbie question re: in-bound fax routing.

["David H. Lynch Jr." <dhlii@1dla.com>]

You got it. basically the same thing.

The basic issue is how can you get the phone number that was dialed so
that you can make routing decisions.

The advise I have been given is to parse it out of the logs.

I have looked at trying to get faxd to set the destination fax number
somewhere that I can use it later and I suspect while it may be easy if
I fully understood the code, I am not fluent enough in c++ to just drop
it in.

Further on both parsing the log and modifying faxd, I have this gut
feeling that the destination phone number they are tracking is NOT the
number called but the number the fax modem is configured to send as -
therefore useless.

I am fairly certain - educated guess, that the called phone number is
probably part of the fax data exchange, but if it is not already being
pulled correctly by faxd then it is not a trivial hack.

Hmmm.  I'm afraid you're digging too deeply for me.  ;-)  Seriously,
though, it sounds as if the "trivially routable" is what I'm looking
for.

Hmm.  Maybe we even mean the same thing.  Here, lemme (try to) draw a
picture:

               ----------
               | "Them" |
               ----------
                    |
                    |
                    | phone number from a pool of numbers pointing to
                    | one physical POTS line
                    |
                    |
               -----------
               |  "us"   |
               -----------
                 /
                / Routed to me based on in-bound number (above)
               /
            -------
            |"Ken"|
            -------

Is this the "trivially routable"?  Or... the
"not-so-trivially-routable?"

Thanks!
