phone call and fax on one line

Hi,                                                                                      
        I have a modem/fax and a linux box. I have only one phone                        
line, and I want to be able to receive fax, and normal call as well.                      

What I need is a program that automatically recognized if it is a normal                  
call, or a fax one. In the first case, I want that the program let me                    
answer manually (do nothing), and in the second I want the program                        
to answer, and pick up the fax. Is it possible?                                          

Thanks.                                                                                  

PS> I have tried mgetty, but it answer to fax and normal call as well.                    
If my girl friend phone me, mgetty answers her. I have to answer her :-)

1. Fax in middle of phone call

I am trying to recieve a fax from one of those fax-back services
which can send the fax at the end of the phone call requesting the
document.  Is there any to do this with efax or mgetty?  I tried efax,
but it had trouble taking over from the voice call and connecting with
the fax machine on the other end.
