Then I got an email that sambafax didn`t recognize a telephone number. Why It's a problem for me ? Because when my customer send me a question, and I need to make an sale offer for him, addly I must to send to my customer specification of hardware he is interested in. Most specification is written in .pdf. And ok, I cannot send .pdf because sambafax doesn`t recognize a telephone number, but I can wrote an offer in normal format, send it to him, but as attachment (next pages) I need to send specification pages in pdf. And now... how to tell sambafax that this attachment pages is connected with first document where telephone number was written ?

sambafax depends upon an assumption that it will be able to read the 
send-to telephone number by parsing the Postscript print-output for it.  
This assumption may be valid in many cases, but I can think of numerous 
examples (you have explained one of them) where this assumption will not 
be valid.  It sounds to me like you need to look at a different client 
program - one that after printing the fax will ask you, in return, for 
the fax number to dial.  The hylafax.org wiki is a perfect place for 
searching for possible options:

RelayFax isn't listed in there, but it's another one to add to the 
non-free fax client softwares.
