Yes this type of service is available from the main 800 service
providers (AT&T, MCI & USSprint). The customer has a terminal
connected to the service provider by a dial-up or leased line.
Complex routing trees with many teminating locations can be
created. decision nodes include time of day, day of week, 
originating area code, percent allocation and command nodes
which are turned on or off from the customer's termanal.

Some very large customers now have an SS7 connection between
the 800 service provider and the customer's computer which
permits call by call routing controlled by the customer's
computer
