Re: matching facsimileTelephoneNumber

[Casey Lewis <clewis@rrpartners.com>]

Marcel,
I've got a work around. It may not be the best solution, but that's why 
I said 'work around'. :)

I've selected another atrribute to query.
 destinationIndicator

It seems that the facsimileTelephoneNumber attrib does not allow the 
types of queries we are trying, but destinationIndicator does.

I made the modifications to my directory tree last week and things seem 
pretty smooth.

Hope this helps.
