What I'm pondering (as how-I'd-do-this, which is not an entirely 
hypothetical question) is to use the * box to listen for additional 
digits after I'd already taken the call, not to expect them somehow from 
the telco.

Support is available for monitoring existing calls for DTMF (IIRC -- 
though I think it's experimental and known to occasionally be 
unreliable), but I'd probably just take the approach of having a 
different number assigned for calls which are going to have additional 
digits punched before starting the fax transition.

(My personal interest here is potentially being able to do fax-to-email 
for employees, and thus identifying for which employee a fax is 
targeted, without giving each employee a dedicated fax number as well as 
a dedicated voice number or needing to put a few-second delay before 
connecting any incoming call to listen for fax tones).
