Re: [hylafax-users] yes, another dialrules question

[Lee Howard <faxguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

See the attached dialrules.  They only vary from the default 
distribution by two lines:

^${Area}[0-9]{7}    = +1&

(in the CanonicalNumber rule)

and

^${Area}([0-9]{7})    = \1

(in the DialString rule)

If your telco allows you to dial 10-digit local numbers, then you don't 
need the DialString rule.  If your area code has some local prefixes and 
some long-distance prefixes then you have to list all of those in your 
DialString rule like this:

^${Country}${Area}555([0-9]{4})  = 555\1

! HylaFAX (tm) Dialing String Processing Rules.
!
! This file describes how to process user-specified dialing strings
! to create two items:
!
! CanonicalNumber: a unique string that is derived from all dialing
! strings to the same destination phone number.  This string is used
! by the fax server for ``naming'' the destination. 
!
! DialString: the string passed to the modem for use in dialing the
! telephone.  This string should be void of any characters that might
! confuse the modem.
!
Area=${AreaCode}		! local area code
Country=${CountryCode}		! local country code
IDPrefix=${InternationalPrefix}	! prefix for placing an international call
LDPrefix=${LongDistancePrefix}	! prefix for placing a long distance call
!
WS=" 	"			! our notion of white space
!
! Convert a phone number to a canonical format:
!
!    +<country><areacode><rest>
!
! by (possibly) stripping off leading dialing prefixes for
! long distance and/or international dialing.
!
CanonicalNumber := [
%.*			=			! strip calling card stuff
[abcABC]		= 2			! these convert alpha to numbers
[defDEF]		= 3
[ghiGHI]		= 4
[jklJKL]		= 5
[mnoMNO]		= 6
[prsPRS]		= 7
[tuvTUV]		= 8
[wxyWXY]		= 9
[^+0-9]+		=			! strip white space etc.
^${Area}[0-9]{7}	= +1&
^${IDPrefix}		= +			! replace int. dialing code
^${LDPrefix}		= +${Country}		! replace l.d. dialing code
^[^+]			= +${Country}${Area}&	! otherwise, insert canon form
]
!
! Process a dialing string according to local requirements.
! These rules do only one transformation: they convert in-country
! international calls to long-distance calls.
!
DialString := [
[-${WS}.]+		=			! strip syntactic sugar
[abcABC]		= 2			! these convert alpha to numbers
[defDEF]		= 3
[ghiGHI]		= 4
[jklJKL]		= 5
[mnoMNO]		= 6
[prsPRS]		= 7
[tuvTUV]		= 8
[wxyWXY]		= 9
^${Area}([0-9]{7})	= \1
^[+]${Country}		= ${LDPrefix}		! long distance call
^[+]			= ${IDPrefix}		! international call
