Who said they are seperate lines. 1-800 numbers can just be redirects to
other lines. In that case you have to have a different signaling method
to determine 1800-a on line b is different from 1800-c on line b.

In a PRI circuit, the "lines" are just channels, all signaling data is
run over the D channel and any "line" can be any number routed to that
circuit.
