PMDF-FAX question

We are considering various FAX solutions for the campus e-mail network. The
problem that we have with most of them is handling inbound FAXs. Several
PC FAX vendors support the use of Direct Inward Dialing (DID), usually via an
EXACOM DID module. The DID module passes to the FAX server the "actual" phone
number that was dialed. The server then uses this to route the FAX to the
correct e-mail user. This solution is fine except that it does not address all
possible e-mail systems on campus and the cost for some of the PC software is
very high.

Is there any way to currently use a DID type line with PMDF-FAX, or are there
plans for such. We like the way PMDF-FAX works but dont want to have to someone
there to manually route the incoming FAXs.

Thanks
