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

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

It supports multiring.  I use this capability on my company's business
line to discern between our 888 number, our fax, and plain number which
all ring on the same phone with different rings.  I am running the
registered version however.  You  need a modem that supports detecting
multiple rings, my Motorola Voice Surfr 56K does this.  It also supports
caller-id.

If you don't want multiple rings, Faxworks can do your voice mail and if
it is a fax call, take the fax for you so you end up saving money since
you don't have to pay for voice mail every month.

The program supports your own voicemail system with multiple
mailboxes if that is what you need.

The registered program comes with a bunch of scripts that allow you to
do multiple mailboxes etc.  I haven't tried the Lite version.
