How can I prevent OL to add local area code in my phone/business fax fields?

[Bill Nguyen]

I'm using MS Fax on a 2003 server. The problem is that OL add the local area
code and parentheses (to all local business fax numbers. This caused the
outgoing fax to fail because the number is invalid. I need to disable this
feature for local area code, but don't know how.
Please help!!!

The dialing properties are Windows settings. Open Control Panel's Phone and
Modem Options applet and correctly specify the dialing rules there.
