I don't know how fax machines do it.  I mean, how do they "listen" to a 
line without taking it off-hook?  I don't know.

In any case, what you describe would be a modem feature, and I'm not 
sure if any modems do support it.  It would be an AT command of some 
kind to tell the modem to "listen indefinitely without taking the line 
off-hook".
