Me and my enthusiasm when focusing a new level in
hylafax :-)). Yes, we have dedicated lines connecting
our different offices so, my idea was, based in the
first 2 digits route the outgoing fax. I make a single
teste where I indicated the modem. I guess just doing
sendfax -h @host will not work.

The idea is not have to hack with the client side. As
you said, diong some work with dialrules will be the
right way.

Probably, but considering our volume (300+ per day)
and having multiple servers that's not an issue :-).

5? Ouch! :-)
Well, I agreed with you. It must be made some changes
to permit dialrules based on prefix/digits and pass
the host info to hylafax. But, if if it's possible
right now to setup a remote host in hyla.conf(?), much
of the work is already done, right?
