Re: [hylafax-users] Dial 9 and Toronto 416 10-digit/905 area code rules

["Oliver Wilcock" <owilcock@mea.on.ca>]

I use the following line as the last entry in the DialString rules in the configuration file: /var/spool/fax/etc/dialrules

^.*$            = 9,&           ! ojw0000 dial 9 first 


DialString := [
!... - other rules
^.*$            = 9,&           ! ojw0000 dial 9 first 
]

On a related note (this be of use to only a few people), here are long distance dialing rules for the 416 10-digit dialing area code (Toronto).  Rules for 905 are tricky.
I require from the users that they input numbers in the form +1AAAEEE1234 except for the 905 area code which can be specified with or without +1.  Maybe someday when I figure out these dialrules I won't require the +1.

To:        "'hylafax-users@hylafax.org'" <hylafax-users@hylafax.org>         cc:                 Subject:        [hylafax-users] Where to specify the the extension number?

I finally finished running through the faxsetup and faxmodem on my RedHat
7.1 machine. Since my server is primarily for sending out fax (receiving is
handled by our fax machine) and I am testing the setup, I have to dial 9 to
get an outside line. But during the whole configuration process, I did not
find anywhere to specify this 9. Would you please give me a hint?

BTW, which one the best free window 9x/NT/2000 client to work with HylaFax
on my linux machine.

Thanks

Bing
