[Thinkpad] [TP-almost on topic] Faxes

This all reminds me of a question I have had for years, which is
actually on-topic. My office phone number is very close to that of an
athletics department FAX machine, and they love their FAXes over there,
and aren't so good with numbers. As a result, I get rather a lot of
attempted FAX calls. I would like to be able to actually receive these
faxes, but otherwise just use my phone as a phone, and do this without
buying a FAX machine or other new hardware. Is there any
laptop/software solution that can intercept a call, ascertain if it is a
fax, if so receive the fax, otherwise just pass the call on to the
phone?
