The Digitran Systems (relabeled Zoltrix Systems card) fax/modem
includes Bit Software's BitFax/SR and BitCom software.  Among the
options in BitFax/SR is the ability to determine incoming fax or data
and respond accordingly.  Though I've not yet tried it (I use this
line for voice mail more than fax/data), it looks promising as a
solution.

I don't have access to BitFax's or Digitran's phone/mail info now.
Send me mail if you can't locate them on your own.
