New in the iaxmodem-0.0.8 FAQ:

Q6: How do I set up my Asterisk dialplan for IAXmodem?

A5: This will vary depending upon what you want, but in many
instances it will be something like this:

  exten => fax,1,Dial(IAX2/ttyIAX/${EXTEN})

If you do not put ${EXTEN} there then IAXmodem will not receive
DID information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In your case you would use ${DNID} (or whatever you've named it) instead 
of ${EXTEN}

If you used the HylaFAX modem config file example that is included with 
iaxmodem you will have these entries:

CallIDPattern:          "NMBR="
CallIDPattern:          "NAME="
CallIDPattern:          "ANID="
CallIDPattern:          "NDID="

To make CALLID3 be the NDID simply disable the ANID setting or rearrange 
them so that NDID is 3rd on that list.
