You can change the behaviour of faxspool:

First find the following line in faxspool:
  if expr "$phone" : "[-0-9TtPpW,;]*$" >/dev/null ; then : 
and change it to:
  if expr "$phone" : "[^a-oq-su-zA-O-Q-SU-Z]*$" >/dev/null ; then : 

After this line insert the following line:
  phone=`echo "$phone" | sed 's/[()/\-\[ ]//g'`

In that way all numbers and signs and the characters tpw are allowed to
appear in the phonenumber. The signs ()/-[ will be removed from the
phonenumber (but not the ], I don't know why sed didn't escape this character
by a backslash. If you want not to use comma or semicolon for special modem
purpose, you can use sed 's/[[:punct:] ]//g' which remove all
punctuation-characters). 
When you want to use spaces or () in your phonenumer, you need to put " or '
around your phonenumber!


Ciao, Rene
