Yes, but you do it *exactly* the same way, with the same exact mechanism 
(QualifyCID, CIDName, CIDNumber) for other types of automatic inbound 
routing like DNIS.

I know that both CNID and DNIS work.  Both of these require hardware that 
supports it.  Most new modems support CNID.

Unless, somehow the PBX passes the DTMF information to the modem and the 
modem can stick that in the RING sequence as CNID and DNIS do.  But I 
don't know DTMF at all.
