I think I know what you're describing, and the limit is with faxgetty, not
the sending system.  faxinfo is only reporting the first 20-chars of the
sender's ID string because that's all that faxgetty can handle for a TSID
string.  If this is intentional or because of a protocol limit, I don't know.
