RFD: using "*" in phone-number with faxspool

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi all!

For testing purposes (and to save money ;-) ) I want to send a
fax to the phone-number "**" but faxspool only allows [-0-9TtPpW,;] 
for the phone-number. I know I could use sendfax directly but I
wanted the automatic conversion from faxspool. :-)
So I tried my limited programming-abilities and did the following 
changes to faxspool, faxrunq and faxrunqd. 
This is not really tested. faxspool writes a correct JOB file
and faxrunq does dial but Ididn't test my change to faxrunqd
at all and I don't know if it only worked by accident. 
So, what do you think?
