Search the mailing list archive for DID, but in short, at the moment,
the only known way to do this is to use an ISDN modem on a BRI with
multiple DN's, enable dialed number reporting, and pick the number
called out of the commlog from your faxrcvd script.

ISTR someone's doing it with a ZyXEL; I conjectured it might also be
possible with a Courier I-modem.

I suspect that almost no one is installing *new* analog DID these days;
it's either DTMF over a T-1, or digital data over a PRI, which is the
recommended approach.  But none of those are supported by HylaFAX, no.

Any contributed code would, as always, be greatly appreciated.  ;-)
