Educate me a bit... I had thought that distinctive ring was supposed to be
used to allow the RING to announce the *type* of call (voice, data, or fax)
that was being received and not the routing of the fax.  I think the
technology you're looking for is DID and not distinctive ring.  Am I wrong?

In any case, HylaFAX currently has the capability to route faxes based on
receiving device (which modem received the fax) and TSID string.  With a
patch on Bugzilla, that capability also includes caller ID string.  So...
no HylaFAX does not have the capability currently to route faxes by
distinctive ring or even DID.  Both could be programmed into HylaFAX,
though.  Feel free.

Lee.
