The flexfax software has this capability.  If an incoming call is FAX it handles
the reception, otherwise it launches a getty to handle a data call.

It works with modems that can differentiate between a data and FAX call and return
an appropriate status message about the type of call.  The Supra FAX modem can do
this.
