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

SBook version 2.3 will automatically export the fax numbers to NeXT's FAX list.   
Then, in your preferences, you can tell it so that phone numbers should be  
dialed with a "70#" as a prefix.

No problem!

For information on how to order SBook, send email to:
