i was thinging about this too, but i have'nt  found, how to extract
which user send the fax when submitting job. I've look to Job.h header
and there is no field like user or uid.
If i can modify dialstring (prefix) per user (and user cannot change
this) it will solve my problem with modems - user can use any modem and
clid is set on pbx.

Yes, it can be easily changed in iaxmodem.c to use clid based on some
value from sending job, but it seems, there is no way how to send
information, which user is sending fax.

The best solutin is to have for. exampl 10 modems, which is spooled, but
set proper CLID or dialstring like CLID#DID based on user and extract it
on PBX (which is easy :)
