I use a Selcom Industries Inc. TS-100 fax/voice switcher which has worked very
well since I got it a few months ago.  Although the unit I have doesn't detect
non-fax modems, I understand they now have a model which does.  The addresses
I have are:

Comtronix Engineering
314 East Holly
Bellingham, WA  98225

and

Comtronix Engineering
7475 Kilrae Crescent
Burnaby, B.C.
V5A 3N8
(604) 420-1872

No, I don't own stock in any of these companies, I'm just a guy with a working
fax switcher.
