There's a piece of hardware you can buy for this. I think mine's called
"CommShare". It hooks to your phone line and has several jacks on the
back for voice, fax, data etc. The box grabs the call and routes it
appropriately. They vary from $20-$60 depending on features.
I only use data/voice, and mgetty watches the line on the computer and
knows how to deal with fax vs. data calls.
