Edit etc/config and add the line:
QualifyCID:	etc/cid

Create the file etc/cid containing the line:
^.*$

Edit etc/config.<devid> and change ServerTracing:
ServerTracing:	0xFFF

Restart faxgetty.

Place a call to your "digital fax router" and check your system log 
(usually /var/log/messages) to look for the exact syntax of the messages 
that the modem produces during/before the ring sequence.  I.e, if the 
modem sends:

RING
DATE = 0524
TIME = 0309
NMBR = 8005551212
NAME = ELVIS PRESLY
RING

Then we pay attention to the parts we want ("NMBR = 8005551212", "NAME = 
ELVIS PRESLY") and we assign the non-changing parts to the CIDName and 
CIDNumber values in etc/config.<devid>:

CIDName:	"NAME = "
CIDNumber:	"NMBR = "

(Note: I realize that all of this example is in the context for Caller-ID, 
but the procedure is precicely the same for all other similar types of 
things where data is passed from the modem during the RING sequence, of 
which you are asking.)

Change ServerTracing back to what you prefer in etc/config.<devid> and 
restart faxgetty.

You can now use the environment variables CIDNAME and CIDNUMBER in your 
etc/FaxDispatch file to route the notification to whom you will.  (Note: 
this part requires 4.1.1.)

Lee.
