Even a regular T1 can have DID and therefore again, the "line" is not
relavent. We had a channelized T1 with E&m wink and the "lines" where
not assigned a number, we decoded it as part of call setup via dtmf. On
those lines I know we didn't receive the 1800 number as it was forwarded
to our DID number and we just received the last 4 digits of the DID. 

So we are back to waiting to hear from the PSTN connectivity and
signalling before we can continue giving advice.
