As Steve described, there are also "analog DID" trunks available from all of the three telcos that I have ever surveyed about it (Qwest, Sprint, Pacific Lightnet).


You
would need to pay for the line and then the block of DID's.  Off of
the
top of my head, 1500-300 a month depending on the amount of DID's and
number of channels.

The analog DID trunks run far less: around $50 per month for the trunk with around 10 or so DID numbers. After that it runs about $25 per month more for each group of 100 DID numbers that you add to the trunk. Analog DID trunks are only a single line, however, and only incoming at that. So they're great if you get faxes for a lot of different people on a small number of lines. If you need lots and lots of channels, however, several pieces of analog equipment will probably outcost a single piece of digital equipment.
