I use 5 ISDN BRI with a multi BRI interface

If so probably you'll get the faxes from different interface (tty*1, tty*2,
etc)

Can't you configure the PBX to use a number per line?
Hasn't your PBX some ISDN lines on exit (for exit I mean from PBX to you,
not from PBX from your tel.co.)?

It depends from your modem.
In general if u use a ISDN you can get the called and the calling number,
but not every (ISDN) interface do it.
In any case, u have to see the AT command of you ISDN interface. (in your
specific case I think u cannot do it)
In my case I use AT#CID=7

U also have to parse the log file (/var/spool/hylafax/log/ or
/var/spool/fax/log)
Control what u get and what the system give to faxrcvd

Yes!
At first read the manual of your interface.
At second read the manual of your PBX.
At third read the faxrcvd man or how to.

After:
if you can set your PBX u have only to create a FaxDispatch like this:
case "$DEVICE"
        tty01)        SENDTO=user1;;
        tty02)        SENDTO=user2;;
esac
(this would like to be only an idea, probably it isn't correct: control
exactly:
hylafax mans
how to create shell script)

if you get the number like me u have to create a more complicated script as
FaxDispatch.


In any case, to try FaxDispatch use:
sh -x
with what u can see in log file.

Bye.
Have a good day
Alex
