You can't really use faxrcvd like this without making a mess.

But, you need to enable CID on your modem and line, and then set 
QualifyCID in your etc/config file.  Then, take a look at the system 
FaxGetty logs to see if CID information shows up there... if not you'll 
need to turn up the ServerTracing logging until you do.

You could then use a separate, cron-run job to parse the system logs to 
produce your database inserts.
