Since you've looked through the logs you probably noticed that there have
been report logs with a certain ISDN modem which reported the DID info to
faxgetty, which appears in the logs.  This user parsed the logs for the
info to route the fax, but with a small amount of work faxgetty could be
coded to pass that DID info to faxrcvd for routing via FaxDispatch.

So... the whole key here is to get your modem to report the DID info to
faxgetty.  If it doesn't, then you'd need to work with the hardware
manufacturer instead.
