In your specific case you have apparently:
	- DID incoming local lines thru your PBX
	- AT&T Megacom lines via T1 that terminate directly
	  on the modems.

This is a fairly common situation in order entry systems...

The most common solution is to have your AT&T T1's terminate on your
PBX as DID lines, too.  This is very common.  Where the DID number
dialed into the PBX is different than the DID dialed in on the outside
lines, set up a call forward to the correct desired group.  AT&T
actually prefers that Megacom services act as DID's, its easier for
their 4 ESS's to do.  Depending on the type of PBX (or Centrex) you
have, the T1's can terminate directly into the switch or channel banks
with tie line type channel cards terminating on your PBX as tie lines
or DID trunks will be req'd.  Talk to your equipment vendor.
