I recommend the use of a Ring Rite by CMP inc *IF* you can get a
distinctive ring on a second number from your telephone company.  I am
using this very successfuly in Hawaii with HawTel Smart Ring service.

You have three dip switches that you set to pass the desired ring to
the device (fax, modem, answering machine, telephone etc) and it
blocks all other rings.  You pay the phone company a small charge of
$5-$8 a month for the second number on the same line and you then can
route the calls based upon the dialed number.

CMP is in Broomfield CO or send me an E-Mail if you need further
information.
