Re: [hylafax-users] Where to specify the the extension number?

One way is to change the config file for the modem line (config.tty??) -

 ModemDialCmd:      ATDT9W%s       # Dial 9 for PABX, wait for dialtone

But this is not a good solution for several reasons. First, "9W" means dial
9 and wait three seconds, not wait for dialtone. You definitely want "9,"
instead, to make the dialing faster.
Second, when people need to dial 9 first, they are typically in an office
with local extensions. If they want to dial directly to another 3 or 4
number extension without going through the outside lines (because they are
disconnected or they cost money), this becomes impossible with this
ModemDialCmd. Instead, the last lines of dialrules should look like this:

   ^[+]${Country}       = ${LDPrefix}           ! long distance call
   ^[+]                 = ${IDPrefix}           ! international call
   ^[0-9]{7,}$          = 9,&                   ! add 9 for outside calls
   ]

This will add 9 for numbers with 7 or more digits.
Third, the ModemDialCmd only works for modems configured that way. Dialrules
will fix the *site*, and will be there even if you reconfigure the modems.
