Just wild thoughts here :

put two isdn capi cards in the server. One is used by * as outgoing
interface for fax traffic, the other as incomming device for
capi4hylafax. Then configure hylafax to dispose of the faxes depending
on the incomming msn.

The hylafax stuff is pretty straight, but I don't know if the * part
is doable as I quite a newbie there :-)
