distinctive ring service for voice/voicemail/fax everything using same phone number?

Using the same ph # for all three I need the fax machine to differenciate between the voice/voicemail & an incoming fax so that the fax answers automatically?

1. usually for distinctive ring you are assigned a "dummy number" which would become the fax #..and your current # would stay your home phone #. when the dummy number is called the fax will pick up. IT will also ring diff. than your home # so you can tell that it's your fax line.
2. distinctive ringing is a virtual number assigned to the same phone line, so that the ringing pattern is diffrent for each phone number.. about $5 per month.. it is not so the fax machine can tell the diffrence between voice and fax calls, its so you can , and dont pick up the phone for a fax call.. what matches your answer better is a fax switch like this : http://www.faxswitch.net/stick.html which will send the fax calls to your fax machine only, and your voice calls you your phones only...
