- The ZyXEL 1496E modems allow you to that. I'm writing a modem-monitor,
- for UNIX, that switches incoming calls between a callback system and a
- fax-spooler. It's not complete yet, but the switching really works.
- This can be done by using setting the modem in ZFAX mode, and I will
- try it out in Class 2 mode.
