To the best of my knowledge there is still only one DID capable, external FAX
modem.  That is the FaxBox line from DCE corporation.  These modems are,
however, pricy (e.g., a FaxBox/30 costs ~ $2,500 and that's without the DID
module).

PMDF-FAX does support the DCE FaxBox line and 4.2 supports the DID routing
capabilities of the FaxBox.

DCE is in Stamford, Connecticut.  There phone number is (203) 358-3940.
