flexfax: Dialrules vs DestCtrls

["rdrouin" <rdrouin@eclipsys.qc.ca>]

Hi,

I have to implement a destControls file that put on hold all long distance
calls(fax) in order to dial them between 18h an d 8h.

My dialrules already check if a fax is a local call or not, but how can I
know if that call is a long distance from the destctrls file?

The problem is that the destctrls file match his expression according to the
cannonical number, and not the dialstring.  So I see 2 solutions to that
problem :
- acces to the dialstring from the destctrls file     OR
- Find a way to know if the call is a long distance from the cannonical
number.

In either way, i'm stock ; I'm pretty sure that there is no way I could
access the dialstring, and I d'ont want to reimplement my dialrules script
in my destctrls because I think it's a dumb thing to do.

I'm not sure if i am clear enough, but I included my dialrules and my
destctrls just to make sure that you could understand what is my problem.
(soory for that)

So anybody got a suggestion ?

destctrls:
#
# Be sure to add this line in the config file.
# DestControls:       etc/destctrls
#
Area=${AreaCode}                    # (used for 450 exchanges below)
Country=${CountryCode}              # local country code
IDPrefix=${InternationalPrefix}     # prefix for international call
LDPrefix=${LongDistancePrefix}      # prefix for long distance call
#
.*911$    RejectNotice = "Calls to emergency numbers are not permitted"
.*[46]11$    RejectNotice = "Calls to service numbers are not permitted"
^[+]${Country}${LDPrefix}(9.*) RejectNotic  = "Call to 1-9xx are not
permitted"
^[+][0-9]{0,6}$ RejectNotice = "Number too Short, need at least 7 digits "
^[+][0-9]{12,}$ RejectNotice = "Number too long, maximum 11 digits"

! HylaFAX (tm) Dialing String Processing Rules.
!
! This file describes how to process user-specified dialing strings
! to create two items:
!
! CanonicalNumber: a unique string that is derived from all dialing
! strings to the same destination phone number.  This string is used
! by the fax server for ``naming'' the destination.
!
! DialString: the string passed to the modem for use in dialing the
! telephone.  This string should be void of any characters that might
! confuse the modem.
!
Area=${AreaCode}                ! (used for 450 exchanges below)
Country=${CountryCode}          ! local country code
IDPrefix=${InternationalPrefix} ! prefix for placing an international call
LDPrefix=${LongDistancePrefix}  ! prefix for placing a long distance call
!
WS="    "                       ! our notion of white space
Area2=514				  ! other local area code
!
! Convert a phone number to a canonical format:
!
!    +<country><areacode><rest>
!
! by (possibly) stripping off leading dialing prefixes for
! long distance and/or international dialing.
