Normally you catch DID with a CallIDPattern setting your modem config 
file.  Then that CALLID value is passed off to faxrcvd/FaxDispatch.  And 
you'd use that CALLID value to determine to which number the fax was sent.

If you have DID service from your telco (e.g. on a PRI digital line or 
with analog DID) then you should always get DID.

Please identify what you're seeing.  Show us the log snippit.

It's called DID, and it has been discussed many times on this list.  It 
requires that you have either a digital line, such as a PRI or some 
other kind of ISDN connection, or that you have an analog DID line, or 
alternatively, that you're behind some PBX or other telephony switching 
equipment that can pass the DID to the modem via DTMF after it picks up 
the call.

So you generally need to figure out which services are available to you, 
and choose from them.
