Just exit your script with exit code 2, vgetty will start a mgetty to receive 
a fax, I do it this way and works fine.
Even better, enable events and you will get an event that there is a FAX TONE
so you don't have to push a button, just pick up the phone and detect the FAX 
event and exit with status 2

For people who are interested, I'm writing a C-library to interface with the 
voice-lib package. It is still in a alpha state, but if you want to try it 
please say so.
