Among other things, Jeffrey Jonas asked about ways of routing fax
calls away from voice calls on the same line.

There are a few devices out there that work with distinctive ringing
service.  This is where for a few extra bucks a month, the phone
company assigns more than one phone number to a line, each with
distinctive ringing.  A detector on the line can then route incoming
calls to a telephone, modem, or FAX, based upon the ringing cadence.
