mgetty-fax to handle the modem/fax, and ifcico, qico, etc. for Fidonet.

If it's a fax call, mgetty will accept the fax and email it to you.  If its
a data call, you can configure an auto-detect for Fidonet EMSI sessions and
spawn ifcico or whatever; look for /FIDO/ in /etc/mgetty/login.config.  You
can also replace the /bin/login line with whatever you want: mailer, telnet
to another box (eg. BBS), custom program, etc.
