We have a fax machine (whose extension goes through the PBX). When attempting to fax to a long distance number, users are mistakenly dialing 911 (9, for the outline, 1 for long distance and another 1 by mistake). There is no handset on the fax machine.

I'm wondering if we can restrict 911 calls from that extension only.

Any other ideas? Thanks!
 
We have many fax machines on the definity system and I found simalar problems . I have changed the analog station to auto dial 9 when it goes off hook .On page 3 of the station form (hot line dial) setup for abb dial 9 this has removed 99% off the dialing errors . Its also a good thing to update the staff with the new procedure .
Good Luck
