A while ago, someone asked whether there was a device that could
switch incoming calls (perhaps to a fax machine or voice) based on the
distinctive ringing service offered by many telephone companies.
 
I have received some sales literature from a Canadian company that
offers Ring ReaderTM, which does exactly that.  I have not seen the
device in use, and I know nothing about the company beyond the sales
literature.
 
For more information about Ring Reader, contact:

TEO Technologies Inc.

Telephone (416) 882-6082   FAX (416) 882-5982
 
The literature says it is FCC registered and DOC (Canada's Department
of Communications) certified. Dimensions are given as 89 mm x 152 mm x
32 mm, and power as 12 volt DC at 300 mA.
