Does anyone have a workaround that allows one to insert *70 or 70# 
into stored fax numbers (in your ~Library/Fax/numbers.txt file)? I need to
disable call-alert service and 7011 inserted does not work as a 
substitute for 70# here. (70# is what disables our call-alert). 

The telephone number filtering/parsing in the Fax software is a little too 
aggressive as is and will not send the fax/modem ATDT70#555-5555, as I  
would like it to. Who wrote this shit anyway? - certainly couldn't have  
been NeXT - my guess is they hurriedly licensed some shit code from an  
unnamed third party in a flailing attempt to add fax support to 2.0. I  
sure hope they fix this in 3.0. Seamless my ass!

Thanks in advance

...brad
