So, I was tipped off to a used Fax / Answering Machine combo at a local thrift shop. I'll be checking it out tomorrow and, if it's still there and is in a reasonable shape, I'll be adding it to my absurd phone network.

This is actually what my main switch box, the "Viking PDF-2" was made for - 2 phone extensions, a modem line, and a fax, with the fax being the default after so many rings on the phone extension.

Long story short, route that in, connect the BBS modem to port 2 and bam - I'll have things a way I like em. That will be a Xadara article down the line, but I thought it'd be neat to post about that here since, you know, it's just that kind of nerdy. :D

That sounds exactly the kind of device I'd love to use - one which was
relevant for about a year before becoming completely superfluous, lol.
