Just a stab in the dark: does your fax modem send CNG tones when
calling out? (These are tones sent every few seconds after dialing is
complete.) Most fax switches listen for these tones on incoming calls
to determine the correct call routing. No tones, voice call. Tones, fax
call.

If the above is your problem, get a modem that transmits the CNG tones.
Otherwise, arrange for a different way to signal fax vs voice calls at
the receiving end.
