FaxDispatch knows. You could rename the .tif file in FaxDispatch to
incorporate the modem identification. You'd be able to see this through
the hfaxd protocol, I think.
If seeing it through the hfaxd protocol is unnecessary and you have the
ability to examine/parse the TIFF tags in the client, then
alternatively, you could configure ModemMfrQueryCmd and
ModemModelQueryCmd in the modem config files to identify the specific
modem like this:
ModemMfrQueryCmd: "!Eicon"
ModemModelQueryCmd: "!Diva ttyds01"
Then, when you retrieve the file you'd use your TIFF examination tool to
parse-out the modem identification.
Certainly a feature could be added to hfaxd protocol, a new TIFF tag
could be created (or one - like "Model" - could be repurposed), and that
whole route... but that's a lot of work from which I don't think many
users would benefit. So if you can use one of the alternatives above it
would be best.
Thanks,
Lee.
