I installed the fax driver wizard so that I could fax from my computer.
My question is;
On receive can I somehow set up the software that it will examine the phone signal coming in for a fax tone and route the call to my computer for faxes and back to the regular phone line if it is not a fax signal?
If this does not do what I am looking for is there any fax software that does?

I could be wrong but I think there is no software that can do what you are looking for. A dedicated phone line for faxing is what you may need.

If I remember rightly MightyFax has the ability to do what you require. It's a fair while ago since I had a dialup connection...

No such animal exists for fax services. The fax is set up to answer on a certain NUMBER of rings and when answered will listen for the signal of an incoming binary signal. If no signal it will auto disconnect and reset itself to answer the next ring.

You need a dial up modem to use that fax software.

The only way to use a fax with dsl is to have a mode/router that is VOIP capable, and a VSP that uses the T38 codec.Then you will need a actual fax machine hooked up to a spare pstn socket in the router...
