Hmm.  So, use a cnd-program like so: 

#!/bin/bash
echo $4 > /var/distring/$1
exit 0

and a new_fax that does something like:

#!/bin/bash
tty="tty`echo $4 | cut -c10-11`"
distring=`cat /var/distring/$tty`
case $distring in
	1)
		#do something
		;;
	2)
		#do something different
		;;
esac

Or something like that?  That looks pretty workable for me.  Perhaps in a
future version, could you set the distinctive ring number as an environment
variable in new_fax's environment (simmilar to what Marc suggested for the
called number, but for us non-ISDN types), or pass it as a parameter to
new_fax?

Muchos Gracias.
