Actually, there's been some support for DID for some time, for
sufficiently small values of DID, and more is imminent.  It's unlikely,
though, that it will support DTMF DID-behind-PBX, as it's currently
planned -- finding modems that are equipped to decode that might be
difficult.

Search the archives for DID, and my name and that of Yan Seiner, who's
actually *implemented* some of this stuff whereas I only talk a lot.  ;-)
