In a fax these are the pieces of information that you may have to use 
for dispatching...

1.  number dialed (either by DID or by device used)
2.  Caller*ID (number, possibly name of the *sender*)
3.  TSI - sender's T.30 identification
4.  subaddress, password
5.  the image data itself (OCR)

In your case #1 is not deterministic (all recipients have the same 
number).  #2 and #3 identify the sender, not the receiver, so they're 
not a factor here.  #4 is extremely rare, and it's highly unlikely to be 
what you're considering.  That only leaves us with OCR, which user 
experience seems to indicate is less than reliable (and you seem to be 
indicating something reliable).

Looking at the ReplixFax specs that you provided you'll see:

------------------------------------
# Optical Character Recognition (OCR)*

*Through third party OCR package running on Windows 2000, NT and 2003 
servers
------------------------------------

So that must be what you're seeing... I can't imagine it being anything 
else. You can use gOCR with HylaFAX and route based on whatever data you 
can pull out of the OCR process.
