The "DID line" is only a line that the telco uses to send the DID 
signal (because the DID signal does not come on the dialtone line).  So 
you don't use it for anything but for receiving the DID signal and 
"busying-out" the line.

You would fax out on the dialtone line.

The dialtone line is for the normal faxing stuff.  The DID line is for 
the DID signal.

Both lines are connected to the modem.  It has a jack for each line.
