Well, there are a couple of ways that this could be handled.  You could
change CIDName and CIDNumber to be "NDID=" and "NMBR=" respectively, then
the CID and DNIS both come through HylaFAX's existing CID handling.  If
you're using CVS HylaFAX, then the the number is pumped to faxgetty as a
fifth parameter, and you can use that for routing via FaxDispatch.

It's also possible to follow the same pattern as CID for DID in the code
(adding code to faxgetty) to acheive this.  The entire trick is that the
modem *must* report this to faxgetty as you show yours doing.

In your case, however, it should be easier just to redefine CID with the
existing mechanisms to suit your CID/DNIS needs.
