That's exactly what I was referring to. Is there any way to display  
that in the image received?
As I wrote previously I usually don't get the sender's callerID, but  
I do get  the phone number printed when receiving with a usual fax  
machine. It would be nice to get this information with spandsp too

To send a fax I'm still using our Brother fax unit, works well...

Sorry for not using a new threads before... I thought about it, but  
the title was correct :)
