DID/NDIS is handled by HylaFAX provided your modem has some means of 
getting that information.

Ah, it brings back memories.  I'd word that post much differently now.

The other tried-and-true option is the Patton 2977.  There is also an 
"experimental" option using Digium hardware and IAXmodem that is working 
for me and some of my customers on a somewhat limited deployment.

First off, read the bottom of:

 http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/using.php#ss3.6

The DID is signalled to the modem in some way that HylaFAX really 
doesn't care too much about.  Then the modem will relay that information 
to HylaFAX, often the same as it does with Caller*ID information.  Then 
that information is passed on in the form of a CALLID value to the 
FaxDispatch script.
