I'm not familiar with that model, but I still don't understand how any
modem can discriminate between voice and data calls.  In adaptive answer
mode, fax modems will issue normal modem connect tones when an incoming
call has no CNG tones, but as that applies to voice calls as well, how does
the modem decide whether or not it should attempt to connect as a modem?

How true.  :)
