faxgetty doesn't do voice.

I've never done this, but I imagine that through use of mgetty and/or 
vgetty you could create the answering system, and then have it pass-off 
the call to faxgetty if it is a fax.

That said, I think that you'll be much better off just getting separate 
lines - even if this were a ready-made procedure.
