If you specify voice:data:fax, vgetty will only answer in voice mode.
It is possible (however not certain), that if the modem is called
*with a CNG* calling tone, vgetty switches to fax/data mode.

However, vgetty alone cannot distinguish between a silent modem
and a silent human.

To solve this problem without CNG tone, you need to either use
different ISDN MSN's or distinctive ringing (the latter was
not tested yet), or use a policy, such as:

   - a silent modem or silent human goes to data/fax, except if DTMF
     before 2 seconds
   - a silent modem or silent human goes to voice, except if CNG or DTMF.

The first policy is configurable with ``mvm'',

The second you could implement yourself in a shell script.
