Is that possible with vgetty ?

For details: (see also example in add_ons/)

1. use this in the /usr/spool/voice/main/commands file

0 goodbye 0
8 param_cmd 0 /usr/spool/voice/main/fax_operation_description_file
# message_to_operator 0

this will by the way not request user identification (use 1 as
parameter instead of zero). Hitting a 8 goes to this mode.

2. Now in the fax_operation_description_file:

enter_fax_number_prompt queue_fax.sh prepare_your_fax_now couldnt_queue_fax

^rmd format for prompt  ^script      ^rmd format          ^rmd format

The prompts are to be in the /usr/spool/voice/messages directory.

3. in queue_fax.sh (in the $SCRIPTS directory)

echo "fax $1 vmaccount $2" | mail -s "example" root
exit 0

Ideally, this would maybe tell vgetty that the next fax is ID X through
the pipe protocol; or create a file somewhere which is handled by the
next new_fax, but that's less reliable.

Try that and if it works we will do the rest.
