If all you're trying to do is to set the Caller*ID information then you can do that in your Asterisk PBX. Think about prefixing your dialstring with a specific code per-user... the PBX uses this information to set Caller*ID and to produce a true dialstring.

Most modems don't have a way to set the Caller*ID values, so for the most part you'll have to do something similar to the above in order to reuse modems with different users. IAXmodem will eventually have the capability to set the Caller*ID information with AT commands, but most modems don't and won't ever likely.



Other devices (like t38modem) are using a cid@did format for the "dial
string"... Using something like that, it would be easy to use a faxsend
wrapper which would specify a different "ModemDialCmd" based on who the
job owner is, and make your device "dial" something like:
ATDTcid@1NXXNXXXXXX


how to extract job owner? i've looked into job.h and there is no user/uid structure.
If i can modify dialstring based on job's owner (hylafax username) it would solve my problem.
