I use vgetty (part of the "mgetty+sendfax" package) with my ZyXEL modem to 
implement a menu system.  I configure HylaFax to think that all calls are 
voice calls, and implement the menu system with a hairy shell script and the 
"zplay" command.  Check out http://www.leo.org/~doering/mgetty/.

It's long been my intention to make "PhoneScript" work with ZyXEL's voice 
stuff, and to make HylaFAX able to answer the phone as FAX if the voice getty 
exits with a certain status (e.g. "press 1 to send a fax"), but it's never 
been a tremendously high priority since I have fairly simple needs.
