Re: [hylafax-users] Routing Incoming Faxes

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the information.  I did see some posts from a few years ago regarding using extra digits to route incoming faxes.  Could someone point me in the direction of the correct way to set this up?  I realize there are complications with this, but I have a Canon copier with a Fax card that supports this, so I'd at least like to try it out.

Also, if anyone has any more information on DTMF routing or "subdomain" support that is also referenced in a few HylaFax-related places, I'd appreciate that, too.  I'm currently investigating whether or not my PBX supports DID over Analog lines - maybe that will pan out and I won't have to worry about DTMF, extra digits, etc., but, on the chance that it doesn't work out, I'd appreciate any non-DID and non-sender routing information.

Thanks - Nick

I suggest you to take a look at the document called "Routing Incoming Faxes"
available at http://www.hylafax.org/content/How-To for an overview and then
look at faxrcvd manpage.

Then, yes, you can do the routing based on the DID and AFAIR it's matter of
evaluating $CALLIDx (where x is 4 usually but i remember me printing these
vars to find the right one) variable in FaxDispatch.
