I'm not sure whether it was necessary to ask this 6 times, but... :-)

If you're asking whether it currently possible to capture additional
number which are dialled by a manual sender sending a fax *into* a
hylafax server, it's very difficult, and requires that the sender wait
until they know they're talking to the faxmodem before dialling the
additional digits.  I believe it also requires modifications to
faxgetty.  And, of course, it requires a modem that can decode DTMF,
but most of them can these days, I think

All of this is to say that you *can* do this, but not with a factory
distribution by any means.

Cheer,
