Excerpt from mvm setup file:

How should mvm answer calls ?

    unconditional         Always goes to voice mode
    normal                Goes to voice mode if a DTMF is pressed within
                          2 seconds and no data calling tone is detected
    special               Goes to voice mode if after 2 seconds no calling
                          tone nor DTMF are detected (UNIMPLEMENTED)

(mvm can additionnally use ISDN calle_d_ ID through discrimination script
 when if vgetty was patched).
