Phonebook

Individual phonebook

Name, Address, and Priority fields make up a phonebook entry. To make an entry put a space or spaces between the Name and Address, and the Address and Priority. You can adjust the size of each field.

Name : like an alias. Don't put a space within this field.

Address : usually a phone number.

Priority : decides when a fax is sent. If it is 1, a fax is sent whenever the modem device is available. If it is 0, a fax is sent after a certain period of time that is decided by a cron file. If the priority is not a number or no priority is specified, softFax applies the current priority. If the priority is greater than 1, softFax assigns a 1.

• Add : adds the typed entry at the end of the phonebook. softFax does not check to see if the same item already exists before adding. If an entry has more than three fields, only the first three fields are accepted and the rest are ignored.
• Modify : change the selected item to the typed entry.
• Delete : delete the selected item.
• Clear : clear text window.
• Done : write the content of the phonebook on the screen to the /usr/spool/fax/.phonebook file and end the phonebook dialog.
• Save : write /usr/spool/fax/.phonebook file without ending.
• Cancel : end the phonebook dialog without writing to the file.
• Send : send the current open file to the selected entry.
