Don't confuse TSI with Caller*ID.  They're not related.

TSI is a sending-machine identifier that is communicated via fax 
protocol during Phase B.  The sender can program almost anything 
there... or nothing at all.  The operator of the sending machine 
generally programs this in to the equipment.

If you want Caller*ID information in place of TSI in your FaxDispatch or 
in your received-fax notification message you certainly can do that - if 
you have Caller*ID support on the line, if your modem is set up to 
receive it, and if your modem config file is set up to interpret it.  
Then it will be a $CALLID numbered variable instead of $SENDER... and if 
you desire you can make SENDER="$CALLIDx"
