Re: [hylafax-users] Urgent: How to get extra dialed number

(My personal interest here is potentially being able to do fax-to-email for employees, and thus identifying for which employee a fax is targeted, without giving each employee a dedicated fax number as well as a dedicated voice number or needing to put a few-second delay before connecting any incoming call to listen for fax tones).


Well, you could just have your fax DID enter into a context with all of the employee fax extensions listed... then ${EXTEN} becomes the employee fax extension. Of course, you'd need to pass that on to your modem.

That said, I'd expect that you'd have a lot of trouble receiving faxes in this way. Some fax machines probably aren't going to allow dialing digits after the call has been placed. And then it's going to be even worse for people trying to send you faxes where they use a fax server that scans dialstrings for whatever reason.
