Well, you could just have your fax DID enter into a context with all of 
the employee fax extensions listed... then ${EXTEN} becomes the employee 
fax extension.  Of course, you'd need to pass that on to your modem.

That said, I'd expect that you'd have a lot of trouble receiving faxes 
in this way.  Some fax machines probably aren't going to allow dialing 
digits after the call has been placed.  And then it's going to be even 
worse for people trying to send you faxes where they use a fax server 
that scans dialstrings for whatever reason.
