Vonage and Primus are the only two I have found that provide local (area code 250) DID's, but neither support integration with asterisk.

As well, I couldn't figure out how to dynamically disable echocancel and echotraining on a line. My experience is that fax is less reliable with those enabled.

Hmmm - I just  'integrated' Vonage with Asterisk - took about 10 
minutes. Crude integration - Vonage's Motorola VT1000v Telephone Adapter 
-> Digium XP100. Incoming (from Vonage) calls hit my auto attendant, 
outgoing you just dial 8-x-xxx-xxx-xxxx. No problem. For the FAX side of 
things - keep a POTS line.
