Re: [hylafax-users] Blocking calls based on DNIS/DID

Lee,

Thanks again for your reply.  It seems that the man
pages I was reading (the ones on the Hylafax.org
website) are a bit dated! ;-)

I had not downloaded the packages yet, since I was
still in the discovery phase.  I did so, and installed
the software (although I have not procured the modem
card as of yet), so now I have access to all the
manual entries.

This (along with my other work) should keep me busy
for a little while, so I will not be bothering you
quite as often.

Thanks again.
Mazi.
