What you're looking for is "DID".  You will need to order it from your 
telephone company and get the appropriate modem hardware to support 
it.  Since you're only talking about one line you'll probably want to 
look into the MultiTech MT5634ZBA-DID.  You'll need to order the analog 
line plus a DID line from the telephone company with as many 
DID-numbers as you need.  Here, the dialtone line is US$20, the DID 
line is US$50, and the numbers are a few dollars more in blocks of 5 
(prices per month).
