The actual addressbook module just allows its own SQL database
schema. No other SQL sources or LDAP sources are supported for now.

I would be fancy to have extenal LDAP servers as address sources.
I also need this feature. What kind of application are you talking
about?
Could this application be included as a phpGroupWare module?

OK?! Just show me how to access a SQL database server through
a LDAP connection. I'm pretty sure, that this isn't possible ;-)

The actuall phpgroupware is able to map all contacts of the
addressbook (as a copy) to LDAP. You may want to use this
feature and adapt your fax client configuration to access the
phpgroupware contacts in LDAP.

Hope this helps,
