Silent Answer doesn't help you tell between voice data and fax. It just
lets the modem tell between fax and voice (as opposed to fax and data, with
adaptive answer). The modem checks for fax tones before answering the line;
I believe the intended use is that you'll get your software to answer the
call if it's fax, otherwise let something else answer it, ie people or
answering machine.
