Subject: [newbie] Remotely answer incoming fax?


I am looking for fax software that will let me remotely receive an
incoming fax. By which I mean:

In my restaurant I have one phone line, which is used for both voice and
fax. The phone is answered in the kitchen, and the fax machine was in
the office. When an incoming fax came in, the person answering the phone
only had to enter a remote answer code (*51) on the phone's keypad to
signal the fax machine to receive the incoming fax.

Now my fax machine has died and I'd like to do the same thing with my
computer's fax modem. So far I can't find any reference to any such
feature in Efax or HylaFAX (I'm assuming such a feature would have to be
implemented on the backend). Any leads, anyone?
