Well, adding the lines to do this on my AS400script
will not be hard. The problem is when the users send
the fax from WHFC :-(.

You're absolutly right ;-). From man sendfax

-h [modem@]host[:port]

Force  the  jobs to be processed on a specific
host  and,  optionally,  using  a   particular
modem.<cuted>

Well, actually the host it's the issue, client-side
speaking. If I configure a group of modems to
outgoing-only at the remote host, I don't needed to
specify that pool of modems, I guess. That's why I
mention dialrules. A regexp to pass the FAXSERVER
environment
variable to hylafax could be fasible? I'm not touching
security issues, yet :-).
