As far as I've ever seen telcos only signal DID via a fixed number of digits.
What I'm pondering (as how-I'd-do-this, which is not an entirely hypothetical question) is to use the * box to listen for additional digits after I'd already taken the call, not to expect them somehow from the telco.

Support is available for monitoring existing calls for DTMF (IIRC -- though I think it's experimental and known to occasionally be unreliable), but I'd probably just take the approach of having a different number assigned for calls which are going to have additional digits punched before starting the fax transition.

(My personal interest here is potentially being able to do fax-to-email for employees, and thus identifying for which employee a fax is targeted, without giving each employee a dedicated fax number as well as a dedicated voice number or needing to put a few-second delay before connecting any incoming call to listen for fax tones).
