You mentioned earlier that you have a second number being *forwarded* to 
a different line.  So I think that the answer is no.

My suspicion is that if you had DID capable services that you'd probably 
understand better the matter at hand.

You have phone lines going into your PBX.  *If* somehow your PBX knew 
which number were dialed, and *if* your PBX could forward the DID digits 
to the modems as DTMF tones after the modems answer the call, then you 
could signal DID via DTMF to HylaFAX.

That said, it doesn't sound like your PBX has any idea what the dialed 
number was, and so at that point you're not able to route based on 
dialed number.

Now, if you had each phone line with a single number connected to one 
modem each, then you could route based on the device name... and so you 
infer the number dialed from the device used.  But without specific DID 
services being provided to you by your telephone company you won't 
otherwise know what number was dialed.

Thanks,

Lee.
