I have used a service like this for adding a fax machine to a voice
line without the annoyance of those darn "fax switches" that attempt
to switch the call after answer.

Check out the Autoline Plus, from:

ITS Communications Corp.
Endicott, NY 13760
Phone: 800-333-0802

Sorry, but I don't have a street address or non-WATS telephone number.

This box has three outputs for up to three numbers assigned to one
line.  If you tell them you are a dealer, you can get a sample for
under $100.  It works great!
