I didn't think it was usefull to show you the file : It's the default file !
The file that was hylafax-v3.0pl0/etc/dialrules in the tar file : 

26 root@portnoy# cmp /usr/fax/spool/fax/etc/dialrules 
      /home/dallas/fgigante/src/fax/Flex/hylafax-v3.0pl0/etc/dialrules
27 root@portnoy# 

So my problems are not (yet) to figure out the rules...

I think that the problem is : dialtest can't open the file ! (That's
why I showed you that the file really exists and its permissions mode are ok )
But Why can't dialtest open the file if it exists and is readable by anyone ?
Or (but it sounds impossible) the rules are wrong in the default dialrules
file !!! (No it's definitely impossible.)
