Re: [hylafax-users] Faxing via a calling card

["Siri Vias Khalsa" <sirivias.khalsa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dial rules are designed for just that - setting different rules for
phone numbers based on country and area codes. You could set a
particular calling card for some countries, a different calling card for
other countries and dial local numbers directly. The key here would be
in dialing them all consistently, making sure that they are entered in a
manner that would be easiest to process and determine what the country
code is etc.

But that would always apply the same card to all calls, whereas most of 
them (the local ones) should be dialed directly, and even the 
long-distance ones may, ideally, use different calling cards depending 
on destination... The complex logic is hard (if not impossible) to 
express in regular expressions alone...

In other words, I think, I'd be looking for a dial-out program... Can 
HylaFax be configured to launch on and "inherit" the telephone 
connection when the program exits?

Thanks! Yours,
