I have T1 service with DID. I want to connect a fax server that uses an analog DID interface to the MICS and send DNIS digits to the fax server. Is there anyway I can repeat or pass the DNIS digits to an analog port or could I use an EM Trunk interface?

MICS DID to Fax Server

I looked at this for a while. The answer is "it depends"
(What I did)
If you want eight or less DIDs sent to the fax server, you can get an two or four port ISDN card for the MICS. And an _active_ ISDN card your your PC (~$800). You get eight virtual fax lines (eight is the max the MICS will do). At the time this appeared to be cheaper than an eight port ASM and eight modems. You can get eight more with another ISDN card in the PC.
Of course now we need more than eight fax lines.
(What I am going to do)
Get an analog DID trunk line with a couple hundred DIDs a Multitech DID modem ~$450
In both cases I am using Hylafax.
If you want more details, just ask.
