Re: [hylafax-users] What is DID exactly?



Steve,

Google for "analog DID trunk". I get about 940 hits on that. Many of them describe BrookTrout functionality, but the MultiTech hardware uses the same thing.

Lee,

I have 20 users and 2 lines, the analog solution sounds like it would
solve
my problems nicely and the pricing sounds very reasonable. Now when I
called
Bell they weren't sure what I was asking for.  They asked me if I
could find
the "bell terminology" or "bell product name" I was looking for.  When
I ask
for analog DID they don't know what I am talking about..

So what exactly should I be asking for?  perhaps you know of a website
that
has information about this service so that I can make a more educated
call
to the phone people.

thanx much!
