[ Okay, Nico, I'll get this ]

An alternative to changing ModemDialCmd in the config file is to alter
the dialrules file.

I added to my /var/spool/fax/etc/dialrules file:

	^[0-9]{7,}$		= 9,&		! add 9 for outside calls

just before the final "]" on the last line of the file.

There's a new bit in the revised html documentation, to be issued
with v4.0pl2, concerning exactly this (advanced-setup.html).
