Re: [hylafax-users] Multiple fax numbers with single phone line

[Giuliano David <g.david@xxxxxx>]

Strictly as you say (i.e. really only one number) hylafax can't know to 
witch one of the employees the fax belongs. Really exist some criteria 
to determine it?

Remember that hylafax can trap and dispatch depending also on the 
sender's telephone number, so if an employee has to receive ALL the 
faxes coming from a particular number, you can correctly manage that 
situation. The important is that the sender's fax machine has it's own 
number specified in configurations settings, or the telecom provider has 
enabled the Caller Identification service on your telephone line.

Different is the case if you really can have more than one telephone 
number and you want only one modem to receive. In this case, of course, 
you can trap the destination number and dispatch faxes according to your 
policy.

Here a list of variables passed to FaxDispatch script. With these 
variables you can customize dispatching of your faxes

   CIDNUMBER    the Caller ID Number value determined from faxgetty
   CIDNAME        the Caller ID Name value determined from faxgetty
   CALLID1...N    the associated Caller ID value (1...N) determined 
from faxgetty  
   DEVICE        the device name (i.e. ttyS1) of the receiving modem
   FILE        the filename (including path) of the tif fax image
   FILENAME    the filename (excluding path) of the tif fax image
   SENDER        the TSID string of the fax sender

Hope it helps
