If they're being eaten, it's almost certainly by the dialrules file.

[ looks ]

Well, the canonicalizing rule strips them, but the dialling rule
doesn't appear that it should.

*My* recommendation?  Use *one* code for everyone's faxes, hardwire it into
the modem config file, and use the server's logging facilities for any
necessary back billing.

Alas, right at the moment, "a recent version" isn't descriptive
enough.  ;-)  I don't think this will be version dependent, though.

Check /var/spool/fax/log; the comm logs will usually show this, even
at the base SessionTracing level.
