The "tagline" is created by default using the LocalIdentifier setting 
for the modem.  You can manipulate the tagline to produce the desired 
result.  There are many ways that you could do this.

Probably the most straight-forward, perhaps blunt, way of of doing this 
would be to have your client submit the TAGLINE parameter.  With sendfax 
you do this with the -F option.

If you're not using sendfax or you don't have control of the client 
program or usage then it may be best to set LocalIdentifier with 
JobControl based on the user.

If you control the client program or usage and you want to have not only 
the tagline dynamically changed but also the actual Caller*ID (since 
you're using iaxmodem) passed up to the PBX you can also use newer 
releases of HylaFAX+ which has a ModemSetOriginCmd feature along with 
support for submitting FAXNUMBER and FAXNAME from the client program 
(sendfax).  If I remember right, a FAXNUMBER setting from the client has 
a greater weight than the LocalIdentifier configuration option, and thus 
that will get used instead.
