I have an application that requires remote users to be able to
access my PC by modem and extract certain data files. I would
also like to be able to receive faxes on this same line. 

Is it possible to use one of the combination FAX/Modem boards to
perform both of these functions (with a single phone line)? Switching
between fax and modem must be done automatically (by
software and/or hardware) based on the type of incoming call.

Thanks
