Dual use modem

Apologies if this is an old question but the list archive search feature
is not working (404 error) and it's not a FAQ either.

I send faxes on very rare occasions and almost never receive so most of
the time my modem is configured to have NCID (caller ID daemon) logging
incoming calls  and hanging up on nuisance calls.  However, the same
modem is the one I use for faxes when I do need to fax something.  I
tried setting up faxgetty but that ties up the modem and NCID can't use
the modem for monitoring caller ID.  I discovered that the simple
"faxmodem" command to add the modem to the pool (after submitting a fax
job to the queue) works even with NCID running.

My questions are 1. is there a configuration for faxgetty that would
share the modem (i.e. did I overlook something when I tried to configure
it) and 2. if there isn't, is there a way to trigger the faxmodem
command on receipt of a job so I don't have to log into the server and
manually issue the command?

Thanks!
