Some senseless babbling from Linda Proulx to All

Warp comes with FaxWorks, which you can tell to answer the phone for a fax.

As for transferring a call to voice mail, that's a very atypical use.  A
lot of companies do in fact use OS/2 for handling telephone traffic, but
it's using specialized hardware, with OS/2 just controlling it.

And finally, the only way to discern a fax call from a voice call is with
multiring, which must be supported by your phone company.  I don't know if
FaxWorks can recognize different rings.
