Re: [hylafax-users] What is DID exactly?

[Marc Ricciardi <MRicciardi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A DID is Direct Inward Dial.  This
technology is used in a PRI or Digial T-1 line, either Wink or D-Channel
handler.  This gets pricey fast!  You would need to pay for the
line and then the block of DID's.  Off of the top of my head, 1500-300
a month depending on the amount of DID's and number of channels.

You are correct with your description
of how it would work, I am new to Hylafax but that is how every other software
does it.  I would assume it's the same with Hylafax as well.

Subject	[hylafax-users] What is DID exactly?

Greetings list,

We have been using the hylafax server for a few months now and it is very
good.  I'm wondering though if there is any way to have incoming faxes
automatically routed to the indented recipient?  I have heard the
word DID
floating around but I'm not sure if my understanding of this service is
clear, so I have a few questions about it:

here is my understanding of DID:  If I have one fax line with several
phone
numbers associated with it so that all these phone numbers lead to the
single fax line where hylafax is waiting to answer.  Then hylafax
can
extract the number that was dialed for the call and route the fax based
on
this number.

Now do I need any special equipment or phone lines for all this to work?

Thank you all!

-steve
