Routing faxed based on MSN

[Ben Stuyts]

Hi,

Running mgetty-1.1.34 on FreeBSD 4-stable with a ZyXEL 2864i modem.

I would like to route incoming faxes to different printers based on
the MSN number they are received on, but can't find an easy way to do
so. It is not passed as a parameter to the new_fax script, and it is
also not part of the filename.

Previously I was doing something similar with multiple modems and
then route on the basis of the serial port (which is part of the
filename).

Thanks,
Ben

It's passed as $CALLED_ID in the environment :) (I didn't want to change
the calling convention for new_fax, to avoid breaking people's scripts)

Run mgetty with "-x6", and the log will tell you what environment variables
are set, and what values you can find in there. Like this:

07/03 10:57:02 y5d setenv: 'CALLER_ID=8999222380'
07/03 10:57:02 y5d setenv: 'CALLED_ID=35655025'
07/03 10:57:02 y5d setenv: 'CONNECT=1200/V.22 1200/None'
07/03 10:57:02 y5d setenv: 'DEVICE=tty5d'
