Unless you've told it to rewrite things or make assumptions about
numbers, HylaFAX proper (ie: faxsend)  will dial prettymuch anything you
give it.

Now, *the HylaFAX distribution*, which is a just slightly different
thing here (not to mention what you're really asking about ;-) includes
a dialrules file, which may make some such assumptions.

I can't conveniently ssh into one of my installed machines at the
moment to check, but that would be the place to look.  I don't *think*
that the distributed dialrules file would cause a problem there, but I
know that there are ways to write a dialrules file (and reasons to do
that) which *would* cause problems.
