in theory yes, imho. Using modem settings it should be very possible to
tweak the code to do almost anything... eg you may want to enable blind
dialing and also set the modem to assume carrier is always on. AT<something>,
have a look at your modem manual. Of course this eliminates your chance
to identify a call to a real phone.

Perhaps you just have a way to increase the time you wait for carrier
for some 20 seconds to get past the initial voice message played by the
remote fax machine, but I didn't find that in the documentation.

Regards,

Toni.
